no CONFIG_BQL

[PATCH] net: make CONFIG_BQL actually end user configurable

Without the defining string or help text, LKC won't ever bother
to ask the end user for a setting for CONFIG_BQL -- you could
delete it from your .config and run make oldconfig and not a
thing would change -- it would still be silently re-enabled.

While most people will have no reason to turn this off, the
ability to do so can be useful for testing BQL support additions
on previously BQL-unaware drivers and similar.

The kconfig help text is largely taken from the original RFC
patchset 0/N header sent to netdev <at> vger.kernel.org in fall 2011.

 find a reason after searching netdev or threads at bufferbloat.net ]

+	  Byte queue limits are a mechanism to limit the size of the transmit

+	  queue limits is to reduce latency caused by excessive queuing in
