net/sched: cake: avoid separate allocation of struct cake_sched_config

Browse source

Paolo pointed out that we can avoid separately allocating struct
cake_sched_config even in the non-mq case, by embedding it into struct
cake_sched_data. This reduces the complexity of the logic that swaps the
pointers and frees the old value, at the cost of adding 56 bytes to the
latter. Since cake_sched_data is already almost 17k bytes, this seems
like a reasonable tradeoff.
