Subject: [PATCH 5.3 06/21] net_sched: let qdisc_put() accept NULL pointer

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 6efb971ba8edfbd80b666f29de12882852f095ae ]

When tcf_block_get() fails in sfb_init(), q->qdisc is still a NULL
pointer which leads to a crash in sfb_destroy(). Similar for
sch_dsmark.

Instead of fixing each separately, Linus suggested to just accept
NULL pointer in qdisc_put(), which would make callers easier.

(For sch_dsmark, the bug probably exists long before commit
6529eaba33f0.)

Fixes: 6529eaba33f0 ("net: sched: introduce tcf block infractructure")
