sch_htb: fix "too many events" situation
HTB is event driven algorithm and part of its work is to apply
scheduled events at proper times. It tried to defend itself from
livelock by processing only limited number of events per dequeue.
Because of faster computers some users already hit this hardcoded
limit.
This patch limits processing up to 2 jiffies (why not 1 jiffie ?
because it might stop prematurely when only fraction of jiffie
remains).
