Subject: [Patch net] net_sched: fix a missing rcu barrier in mini_qdisc_pair_swap()

The rcu_barrier_bh() in mini_qdisc_pair_swap() is to wait for
flying RCU callback installed by a previous mini_qdisc_pair_swap(),
however we miss it on the tp_head==NULL path, which leads to that
the RCU callback still uses miniq_old->rcu after it is freed together
with qdisc in qdisc_graft(). So just add it on that path too.

Fixes: 46209401f8f6 ("net: core: introduce mini_Qdisc and eliminate usage of tp->q for clsact fastpath ")
