kernel: cake_mq: expose sync_time parameter via debugfs

This patch enables for the configuration of the sync_time parameter.
The value of the sync_time needs to be specified in nanoseconds.
The default value is 200us (200 000 ns).
This is especially helpful to get feedback from users about suitable
values. Once a solid solution is found this patch can be removed.

Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: sch_cake: configure sync_time via debugfs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Add a debugfs entry for sync_time to allow runtime adjustment of its
value without recompilation. sync_time is specified in nanoseconds;
setting it to 0 triggers synchronization on every packet.
