net/sched: sch_taprio: Replace direct dequeue call with peek and qdisc_dequeue_peeked

When taprio's software path peeks a non-work-conserving child qdisc, the
child stashes the peeked skb in its gso_skb; taprio_dequeue_from_txq()
then takes the packet with a direct child ->dequeue() call, which ignores
that stash, orphans the peeked skb and desyncs the child's qlen/backlog.
With a qfq child this re-enters the child on an emptied list and
dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress.

Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_red and sch_sfb
now do. The helper returns the child's stashed skb first and is a no-op
when there is none, so a work-conserving child is unaffected and the
gated path now consumes the skb whose length was charged to the budget.
