Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH] multiq: remove root-only requirement from multiq_tune

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@...el.com>

This patch removes the root-only requirement for the multiq qdisc so that
you can have prio as a parent if you wish.  This may lead to some odd
behaviors when parent qdiscs are not multiqueue aware.
