Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: increase quantum for airtime scheduler

Given the typical AQL budget and queue length, a quantum of 256 with the
default station weight often requires iterating over all queues frequently,
until one of them becomes eligible.
Improve performance by using 8 times station weight as scheduler quantum
