    net_sched: destroy proto tp when all filters are gone · 1e052be6

    Kernel automatically creates a tp for each
    (kind, protocol, priority) tuple, which has handle 0,
    when we add a new filter, but it still is left there
    after we remove our own, unless we don't specify the
    handle (literally means all the filters under
    the tuple). For example this one is left:
    
      # tc filter show dev eth0
      filter parent 8001: protocol arp pref 49152 basic
    
    The user-space is hard to clean up these for kernel
    because filters like u32 are organized in a complex way.
    So kernel is responsible to remove it after all filters
    are gone.  Each type of filter has its own way to
    store the filters, so each type has to provide its
    way to check if all filters are gone.
