4.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

[ Upstream commit ca558e185972d8ecd308760abf972f5d408bcff0 ]

Denys reported wrong rate estimations with HTB classes.

It appears the bug was added in linux-4.10, since my tests
where using intervals of one second only.

HTB using 4 sec default rate estimators, reported rates
were 4x higher.

We need to properly scale the bytes/packets samples before
integrating them in EWMA.

Tested:
echo 1 >/sys/module/sch_htb/parameters/htb_rate_est

Setup HTB with one class with a rate/cail of 5Gbit

Generate traffic on this class
