[PKT_SCHED] RED: Fix overflow in calculation of queue average

Browse Source 
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).
