Following the code path (with CONFIG_NET_CLS_ACT=n in mind), it looks 
like there are a couple of places which return TC_ACT_SHOT before 
calling any classifiers, which then would cause some qdiscs to look into 
a uninitialized 'struct tcf_result res'.
I could be misreading it... But if it's the problem the author is trying 
to fix, the obvious way to do it would be:
	struct tcf_result res = {};
