The hang would happen in above spin_lock(&q->busylock), before you can
get a chance...
If you want to test your patch, add this debugging feature, pretending
the spinlock is contended.

Why can't the bad config be detected in the ctl path ?

I wish the act path would run without qdisc spinlock held, and use RCU instead.
Instead, we are adding cost in fast path only to detect bad configs.
