net_sched: fix ip_tos2prio

ECN support incorrectly maps ECN BESTEFFORT packets to TC_PRIO_FILLER
(1) instead of TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT (0)

This means ECN enabled flows are placed in pfifo_fast/prio low priority
band, giving ECN enabled flows [ECT(0) and CE codepoints] higher drop
probabilities.

This is rather unfortunate, given we would like ECN being more widely
used.
