net_sched: prio: use qdisc_dequeue_peeked

commit 07bd8df5df4369487812bf85a237322ff3569b77
(sch_sfq: fix peek() implementation) changed sfq to use generic
peek helper.

This makes HFSC complain about a non-work-conserving child qdisc, if
prio with sfq child is used within hfsc:

hfsc peeks into prio qdisc, which will then peek into sfq.
returned skb is stashed in sch->gso_skb.

Next, hfsc tries to dequeue from prio, but prio will call sfq dequeue
directly, which may return NULL instead of previously peeked-at skb.

Have prio call qdisc_dequeue_peeked, so sfq->dequeue() is
not called in this case.

 Eric, does this look correct to you?
 I am not sure if sfq needs fixing instead of this patch here.

Hi Florian

Are you sure this patch is still needed, after commit 
e1738bd9cecc5c867b0e2996470c1ff20f66ba79
(sch_sfq: fix sfq_enqueue())

I am asking before fully reviewing the code, I dont know who
should/shouldnt call qdisc_dequeue_peeked() instead of qdisc->dequeue()

Thanks !

Yes, I double checked.  This patch is applied, also
I see HFSC complaints even without that code path touched by
"sch_sfq: fix sfq_enqueue" being hit.
