sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of flows



SFQ enqueue algo puts a new flow _behind_ all pre-existing flows in the
circular list. In fact this is probably an old SFQ implementation bug.

100 Mbits = ~8333 full frames per second, or ~8 frames per ms.

With 50 flows, it means your "new flow" will have to wait 50 packets
being sent before its own packet. Thats the ~6ms.

We certainly can change SFQ to give a priority advantage to new flows,
so that next dequeued packet is taken from a new flow, not an old one.
