This gets us back to the whole qdisc->ops->peek() discussion :)
That just proves it's a good idea :)
And we don't have the qdisc lock here, taking it is undesirable,
and if we do take it we have to transfer that lock down into
__qdisc_run() which means adjusting all the other __qdisc_run()
callers.
Last I checked qdisc_run did run under the root lock...

Cheers,
