Subject: [PATCH]: Schedule correct qdisc in watchdog.

Jarek, I bet this is what was causing the crash you were trying to fix
yesterday.

But that's just my newbie hunch :-)

pkt_sched: Never scheduler non-root qdiscs.

The qdisc watchdogs can be attached to any qdisc,
not just the root, so make sure we schedule the
correct one.
