I just noticed that doing the above increases the size of struct sk_buff by 8
bytes - struct timerqueue_node is 32bytes long while struct rb_node is only
24bytes long.

Given the feedback we got here before against touching struct sk_buff at all for
non-generic use cases, I will keep the implementation of sch_tbs.c as is, thus
keeping the open-coded version for now, ok?

Thanks,
Jesus
