I investigated this problem, and I found a bug in cls_cgroup_change() in cls_cgroup.c.
cls_cgroup_change() expected tca[TCA_OPTIONS] was set from user space properly,
but tc in iproute2-2.6.29-1 (which I used) didn't set it.

I saw the current source code of tc in git, I found the code for cls_cgroup in iproute2/tc/f_cgroup.c.
It set tca[TCA_OPTIONS].

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shemminger/iproute2.git

# Unfortunately, current source coude of iproute2 couldn't compile, because it occured compile error. X-P
# But this is another issue.

If we always use a newest iproute2 in git when we use cls_cgroup, we don't face this oops probably.
But I think, kernel shouldn't panic regardless of use program's behaviour.
