[PATCH 2.6.26.y] sch_prio: Fix nla_parse_nested_compat() regression

From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@suug.ch>
Date: 2008-08-28 13:03:26
Also in: lkml

nla_parse_nested_compat() was used to parse two different message
formats in the netem and prio qdisc, when it was "fixed" to work
with netem, it broke the multi queue support in the prio qdisc.
Since the prio qdisc code in question is already removed in the
development tree, this patch only fixes the regression in the
stable tree.

Based on original patch from Alexander H Duyck [off-list ref]
