Sorry for the delay reply, I seems to miss this.

I assumed synchronize_net() also wait for outstanding softirq to finish, right?

There maybe a deadlock here if we reset the qdisc after the some_qdisc_is_busy() checking,
because some_qdisc_is_busy() may require the qdisc reset to clear the skb, so that
some_qdisc_is_busy() can return false. I am not sure this is really a problem, but
sch_direct_xmit() may requeue the skb when dev_hard_start_xmit return TX_BUSY.
