Current max_size is caluated from rate table. Now, the rate table
has been replaced and it's wrong to caculate max_size based on this
rate table. It can lead wrong calculation of max_size.

The burst in kernel may be lower than user asked, because burst may gets
some loss when transform it to buffer(E.g. "burst 40kb rate 30mbit/s")
and it seems we cannot avoid this loss. Burst's value(max_size) based on
rate table may be equal user asked. If a packet's length is max_size, this
packet will be stalled in tbf_dequeue() because its length is above the
burst in kernel so that it cannot get enough tokens. The max_size guards
against enqueuing packet sizes above q->buffer "time" in tbf_enqueue().

To make consistent with the calculation of tokens, this patch add a helper
psched_ns_t2l() to calculate burst(max_size) directly to fix this problem.

After this fix, we can support to using 64bit rates to calculate burst as well.
