Subject: [PATCH v3 2/3] net: sched: consistently use rcu_replace_pointer() in taprio_change()

According to Vinicius (and carefully looking through the whole thing
once again), txtime branch of 'taprio_change()' is not going to race
against 'advance_sched()'. But using 'rcu_replace_pointer()' in the
former may be a good idea as well.
