net/sched: schcodel: Do not call qdisctreereducebacklog during peek before restoring qlen

Whenever codel drops packets during peek, it calls qdisctreereducebacklog. An issue arises because it calls qdisctreereducebacklog before it reincrements the qlen. If qlen drops to zero, but peek returns an skb, the parent's qlennotify callback will be executed even though codel still has 1 packet on the queue and, thus, will mistakenly deactivate the parent's class causing issues like a wild memory access when qfq has codel as a child:
