Here is another scenario I bumped onto - qdisc_watchdog_cancel() and
qdisc_restart() deadlock.

[...]
DEADLOCK!

Good catch.

Please try reverting commit 1936502d00ae6c2aa3931c42f6cf54afaba094f2,
that should fix it.

Ranko, did you get a chance to test this? I've attached the patch
since it doesn't revert cleanly ..

I have the commit reverted on my tree and have been testing it along
with the other changes to qdisc code I'm currently doing and it does
rectify the problem.

Applied, thanks everyone.
