Subject: [patch net-next 11/11] mlxsw: spectrum: qdiscs: Remove qdisc before setting a new one

From: Nogah Frankel <nogahf@...lanox.com>

If a qdisc is being replaced by another qdisc of the same type, it can
simply override over its configuration.
However, if it replaces a qdisc of another type, it needs to be removed
before setting the new qdisc.
