pkt_sched: cls_u32: Fix locking in u32_delete()

While looking for a possible reason of bugzilla [Bug 11571]
"u32_classify Kernel Panic" reported by m0sia@...tinka.ru I found that
tcf_tree_lock() is missing in u32_delete() during u32_destroy_hnode()
call. Other paths calling this function use this lock. It haven't been
acknowledged this fixes the bug, but I think this patch is needed here
anyway.
