Subject: [NET_SCHED]: Avoid requeue warning on dev_deactivate

Hi Dave:

While I'm looking at qdisc_restart I found that we might end up calling
noop_requeue on device shutdown which prints a warning unnecessarily.

[NET_SCHED]: Avoid requeue warning on dev_deactivate

When we relinquish queue_lock in qdisc_restart and then retake it for
requeueing, we might race against dev_deactivate and end up requeueing
onto noop_qdisc.  This causes a warning to be printed.

This patch fixes this by checking this before we requeue.  As an added
bonus, we can remove the same check in __qdisc_run which was added to
prevent dev->gso_skb from being requeued when we're shutting down.

Even though we've had to add a new conditional in its place, it's better
because it only happens on requeues rather than every single time that
qdisc_run is called.

For this to work we also need to move the clearing of gso_skb up in
dev_deactivate as now qdisc_restart can occur even after we wait for
__LINK_STATE_QDISC_RUNNING to clear (but it won't do anything as long
as the queue and gso_skb is already clear).
