packet: check for ndo_select_queue during queue selection 

Mathias reported that on an AMD Geode LX embedded board (ALiX)
with ath9k driver PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, introduced in commit
d346a3fae3 ("packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket
option"), triggers a WARN_ON() coming from the driver itself
via 066dae93bd ("ath9k: rework tx queue selection and fix
queue stopping/waking").

The reason why this happened is that ndo_select_queue() call
is not invoked from direct xmit path i.e. for ieee80211 subsystem
that sets queue and TID (similar to 802.1d tag) which is being
put into the frame through 802.11e (WMM, QoS). If that is not
set, pending frame counter for e.g. ath9k can get messed up.

So the WARN_ON() in ath9k is absolutely legitimate. Generally,
the hw queue selection in ieee80211 depends on the type of
traffic, and priorities are set according to ieee80211_ac_numbers
mapping; working in a similar way as DiffServ only on a lower
layer, so that the AP can favour frames that have "real-time"
requirements like voice or video data frames.

Therefore, check for presence of ndo_select_queue() in netdev
ops and, if available, invoke it with a fallback handler to
__packet_pick_tx_queue(), so that driver such as bnx2x, ixgbe,
or mlx4 can still select a hw queue for transmission in
relation to the current CPU while e.g. ieee80211 subsystem
can make their own choices.
