Subject: [PATCH] net/sched: initialize noop_qdisc owner

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

When the noop_qdisc owner isn't initialized, then it will be 0,
so packets will erroneously be regarded as having been subject
to recursion as long as only CPU 0 queues them. For non-SMP,
that's all packets, of course. This causes a change in what's
reported to userspace, normally noop_qdisc would drop packets
silently, but with this change the syscall returns -ENOBUFS if
RECVERR is also set on the socket.

Fix this by initializing the owner field to -1, just like it
would be for dynamically allocated qdiscs by qdisc_alloc().

Fixes: 0f022d32c3ec ("net/sched: Fix mirred deadlock on device recursion")
