[PKT_SCHED]: Reduce branch mispredictions in pfifo_fast_dequeue
The current call to __qdisc_dequeue_head leads to a branch
misprediction for every loop iteration, the fact that the
most common priority is 2 makes this even worse. This issue
has been brought up by Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com>
but unlike his solution which was to manually unroll the loop,
this approach preserves the possibility to increase the number
of bands at compile time.
