[ Upstream commit 25426b794efdc70dde7fd3134dc56fac3e7d562d ]

When below pattern is observed,

                                               TIME
       dql_queued()         dql_completed()     |
      a) initial state                          |
                                                |
      b) X bytes queued                         V

      c) Y bytes queued
                           d) X bytes completed
      e) Z bytes queued
                           f) Y bytes completed

a) dql->limit has already some value and there is no in-flight packet.
b) X bytes queued.
c) Y bytes queued and excess limit.
d) X bytes completed and dql->prev_ovlimit is set and also
   dql->prev_num_queued is set Y.
e) Z bytes queued.
f) Y bytes completed. inprogress and prev_inprogress are true.

At f), according to the comment, all_prev_completed becomes
true and limit should be increased. But POSDIFF() ignores
(completed == dql->prev_num_queued) case, so limit is decreased.
