    net_sched: fix qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() races · 4eaf3b84

    qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() suffers from two problems on multiqueue
    devices.
    
    One problem is that it updates sch->q.qlen and sch->qstats.drops
    on the mq/mqprio root qdisc, while it should not : Daniele
    reported underflows errors :

    mq/mqprio have their own ways to report qlen/drops by folding stats on
    all their queues, with appropriate locking.
    
    A second problem is that qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() calls qdisc_lookup()
    without proper locking : concurrent qdisc updates could corrupt the list
    that qdisc_match_from_root() parses to find a qdisc given its handle.
    
    Fix first problem adding a TCQ_F_NOPARENT qdisc flag that
    qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() can use to abort its tree traversal,
    as soon as it meets a mq/mqprio qdisc children.
    
    Second problem can be fixed by RCU protection.
    Qdisc are already freed after RCU grace period, so qdisc_list_add() and
    qdisc_list_del() simply have to use appropriate rcu list variants.
    
    A future patch will add a per struct netdev_queue list anchor, so that
    qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() can have more efficient lookups.
