There is at least one ABBA deadlock, est_timer does:

read_lock(&est_lock)
spin_lock(e->stats_lock) (which is dev->queue_lock)

and qdisc_destroy calls htb_destroy under dev->queue_lock, which
calls htb_destroy_class, then gen_kill_estimator and this
write_locks est_lock.

I can't see the problem above though, the qdisc_run path only takes
dev->queue_lock. Please enable lockdep and post the output if any.
