Julian Wiedmann ef6af7bdb9 net/af_iucv: count packets in the xmit path
The TX code keeps track of all skbs that are in-flight but haven't
actually been sent out yet. For native IUCV sockets that's not a huge
deal, but with TRANS_HIPER sockets it would be much better if we
didn't need to maintain a list of skb clones.

Note that we actually only care about the _count_ of skbs in this stage
of the TX pipeline. So as prep work for removing the skb tracking on
TRANS_HIPER sockets, keep track of the skb count in a separate variable
and pair any list {enqueue, unlink} with a count {increment, decrement}.

Then replace all occurences where we currently look at the skb list's
fill level.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
