net/sched: taprio: don't segment unnecessarily

Improve commit 497cc00 ("taprio: Handle short intervals and large
packets") to only perform segmentation when skb->len exceeds what
taprio_dequeue() expects.

In practice, this will make the biggest difference when a traffic class
gate is always open in the schedule. This is because the max_frm_len
will be U32_MAX, and such large skb->len values as Kurt reported will be
sent just fine unsegmented.

What I don't seem to know how to handle is how to make sure that the
segmented skbs themselves are smaller than the maximum frame size given
by the current queueMaxSDU[tc]. Nonetheless, we still need to drop
those, otherwise the Qdisc will hang.
