sched: manipulate __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING in qdisc_run_* helpers
Currently NOLOCK qdiscs pay a measurable overhead to atomically manipulate the __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING. Such bit is flipped twice per packet in the uncontended scenario with packet rate below the line rate: on packed dequeue and on the next, failing dequeue attempt. This changeset moves the bit manipulation into the qdisc_run_{begin,end} helpers, so that the bit is now flipped only once per packet, with measurable performance improvement in the uncontended scenario. This also allows simplifying the qdisc teardown code path - since qdisc_is_running() is now effective for each qdisc type - and avoid a possible race between qdisc_run() and dev_deactivate_many(), as now the some_qdisc_is_busy() can properly detect NOLOCK qdiscs being busy dequeuing packets.
