Patch looks fine, another way to fix this would be drop the
mq_destroy() call in the error path. I'm not convinced one
is any better than the other but maybe some other folks have
opinions, it seems a bit wrong to call mq_destroy twice so in
that sense it may be a bit nicer to drop the mq_destroy().

Also same bug in mqprio do you want to submit a patch for
that qdisc as well? Otherwise I can.

Thanks!
