I don't find any way to retrieve qdisc pointer from struct htb_sched,
unless we add a pointer there, which will end up bigger.

Or refactor the functions on the call path of htb_change_class_mode()
to use struct Qdisc*, which will end up a bigger patch.

Therefore, I think your suggestion of folding it into 'direct_pkts' is better.

Thanks.
