historically the kernel queues packets two times. once
at the device and second in qdisc. this is believed to cause
interface stalls if one of these queues overruns.

setting IFF_ONE_QUEUE is the default in kernels >= 3.8. the
flag is ignored since then. see kernel commit

Historically tun supported two modes of operation:
- in default mode, a small number of packets would get queued
at the device, the rest would be queued in qdisc
- in one queue mode, all packets would get queued at the device

This might have made sense up to a point where we made the
queue depth for both modes the same and set it to
a huge value (500) so unless the consumer
is stuck the chance of losing packets is small.

Thus in practice both modes behave the same, but the
default mode has some problems:
- if packets are never consumed, fragments are never orphaned
which cases a DOS for sender using zero copy transmit
- overrun errors are hard to diagnose: fifo error is incremented
only once so you can not distinguish between
userspace that is stuck and a transient failure,
tcpdump on the device does not show any traffic

Userspace solves this simply by enabling IFF_ONE_QUEUE
but there seems to be little point in not doing the
right thing for everyone, by default.

After commit 5d097109257c03a71845729f8db6b5770c4bbedc
("tun: only queue packets on device"), NETDEV_TX_OK was returned for
dropped packets. This will confuse pktgen since dropped packets were
counted as sent ones.

Fixing this by returning NET_XMIT_DROP to let pktgen count it as error
packet.
