Here is my proposal again...

Jarek P.

-----------> (resend with changelog fixed only)

net: Change handling of the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED flag in net_tx_action().

Change handling of the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED flag in net_tx_action() to
enable proper control in dev_deactivate(). Now, if this flag is seen
as unset under root_lock means a qdisc can't be netif_scheduled.
