Hmm... the bug seems to be triggered in SFQ, as 'perturb 10' uses a
timer.

When sfq_rehash() is called, root qdisc lock is properly held, but
sfq_reset() might be called without root qdisc lock being held, via 

htb_put() -> htb_destroy_class() -> qdisc_destroy()


race added in commit 225d9b89c937633dfeec502741a174fe0bab5b9f
("sch_sfq: rehash queues in perturb timer")

Not sure how to solve this.

A del_timer_sync() added in sfq_reset() might dead lock, and a
del_timer() wont be enough.
