[PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue average
Overflow can occur very easily with 32 bits, e.g., with 1 second us_idle is approx. 2^20, which leaves only 11-Wlog bits for queue length. Since the EWMA exponent is typically around 9, queue lengths larger than 2^2 cause overflow. Whether the affected branch is taken when us_idle is as high as 1 second, depends on Scell_log, but with rather reasonable configuration Scell_log is large enough to cause p->Stab to have zero index, which always results zero shift (typically also few other small indices result in zero shift).
