Subject: [net PATCH] net: sched: Fix one possible panic when no destroy callback

From: Gao Feng <gfree.wind@....163.com>

When qdisc fail to init, qdisc_create would invoke the destroy callback
to cleanup. But there is no check if the callback exists really. So it
would cause the panic if there is no real destroy callback like these
qdisc codel, pfifo, pfifo_fast, and so on.

Now add one the check for destroy to avoid the possible panic.
