Subject: [PATCH net] cls_matchall: avoid panic when receiving a packet before filter set

When a matchall classifier is added, there is a small time interval in
which tp->root is NULL. If we receive a packet in this small time slice
a NULL pointer dereference will happen, leading to a kernel panic:

    # tc qdisc replace dev eth0 ingress
    # tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: matchall action gact drop
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000034
    Mem abort info:
      ESR = 0x96000005
      Exception class = DABT (current EL), IL = 32 bits
      SET = 0, FnV = 0
      EA = 0, S1PTW = 0

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
    SMP: stopping secondary CPUs
    Kernel Offset: disabled
    CPU features: 0x002,00002000
    Memory Limit: none
    Rebooting in 1 seconds..

Fix this by adding a NULL check in mall_classify().
