Well, qdisc_hash_add() has a WARN_ON() (inherited from what 
qdisc_list_add() used to do) for that particular case to catch cases where 
singleton qdisc would make it there from other places by mistake. By 
putting this test there we'll effectively giving up on this warning should 
it ever point to a bug.

Thanks,
