pkt_sched: Don't hold qdisc lock over qdisc_destroy().
Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback and help from Jarek Poplawski and Herbert Xu. We always either: 1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc. or 2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous references. So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(), it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is free'd memory. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
