Subject: [PATCH 3.2 072/147] sch_hfsc: fix null pointer deref and double
 free on init failure

3.2.95-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@...ulusnetworks.com>

commit 3bdac362a2f89ed3e148fa6f38c5f5d858f50b1a upstream.

Depending on where ->init fails we can get a null pointer deref due to
uninitialized hires timer (watchdog) or a double free of the qdisc hash
because it is already freed by ->destroy().

Fixes: 8d5537387505 ("net/sched/hfsc: allocate tcf block for hfsc root class")
Fixes: 87b60cfacf9f ("net_sched: fix error recovery at qdisc creation")
