Yes, I'm using NULL and 0 interchangeably here, since in the sch_api
code, qdisc_graft(), sch->parent is referenced using NULL and not 0.  I
know it's a u32, and the value is getting set to the proper handle when
the qdisc is not the root qdisc.  When it's the root qdisc, it's left to
be 0.

This patch was tested as well, but looking at the history now, I didn't
set bands correctly, so that's why the multiqueue case failed.  My
mistake, and I'll keep working on this.

Sorry for the extra noise,
