commit 416186fbf8c5b4e4465 ("net: Split core bits of netdev_pick_tx
into __netdev_pick_tx") added a bug that disables caching of queue
index in the socket.

This is the source of packet reorders for TCP flows, and
again this is happening more often when using FQ pacing.

Old code was doing 

if (queue_index != old_index)
	sk_tx_queue_set(sk, queue_index);

Alexander renamed the variables but forgot to change sk_tx_queue_set()
2nd parameter.

if (queue_index != new_index)
	sk_tx_queue_set(sk, queue_index);

This means we store -1 over and over in sk->sk_tx_queue_mapping

Ugh, my bad.  This is a nasty one too since the behaviour appeared to be
correct for most cases.

It looks like this needs to go into stable for 3.9 - 3.11.
