No. It landed on this one.

     pkt_sched: Schedule qdiscs instead of netdev_queue.

     When we have shared qdiscs, packets come out of the qdiscs
     for multiple transmit queues.

     Therefore it doesn't make any sense to schedule the transmit
     queue when logically we cannot know ahead of time the TX
     queue of the SKB that the qdisc->dequeue() will give us.

     Just for sanity I added a BUG check to make sure we never
     get into a state where the noop_qdisc is scheduled.
