Subject: Two net_sched fixes for stable

Hi, David

Can you queue the following commits for stable? They fix a
sleep-in-atomic warning reported by Roland.

This problem was introduced by:

    net_sched: fix reference counting of tc filter chain

so should apply to 4.14 too.

For 4.15, they can just apply nearly cleanly. However, it is not
straight-forward to cherry pick them to 4.14 due to some big changes
between 4.14 and 4.15.

Please let me know how you want to handle this for 4.14.

Thanks.
