(take 2)

It seems there could be a problem with testing if this patch fixes
this bug, but IMHO it's quite probable, and needed anyway.

pkt_sched: cls_u32: Fix locking in u32_change()

New nodes are inserted in u32_change() under rtnl_lock() with wmb(),
so without tcf_tree_lock() like in other classifiers (e.g. cls_fw).
This isn't enough without rmb() on the read side, but on the other
hand adding such barriers doesn't give any savings, so the lock is
added instead.
