net: Add flow_keys digest
Some users of flow keys (well just sch_choke now) need to pass flow_keys in skbuff cb, and use them for exact comparisons of flows so that skb->hash is not sufficient. In order to increase size of the flow_keys structure, we introduce another structure for the purpose of passing flow keys in skbuff cb. We limit this structure to sixteen bytes, and we will technically treat this as a digest of flow_keys struct hence its name flow_keys_digest. In the first incaranation we just copy the flow_keys structure up to 16 bytes-- this is the same information previously passed in the cb. In the future, we'll adapt this for larger flow_keys and could use something like SHA-1 over the whole flow_keys to improve the quality of the digest.
