llc: Calculate the average queuing delay of the LLC queues
Use a formula like it is used with TCP. This can help to make decisions about if frames should be dropped or not at the time we enqueue them. This code will store two timeval structs in fron the of the actual data and compute the average at the time of the dequeue.
