[Patch net] net_sched: fix struct tc_u_hnode layout in u32

From: Cong Wang <hidden>
Date: 2015-03-10 00:03:47

We dynamically allocate divisor+1 entries for ->ht[] in tc_u_hnode:

  ht = kzalloc(sizeof(*ht) + divisor*sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL);

So ->ht is supposed to be the last field of this struct, however
this is broken, since an rcu head is appended after it.

Good catch.

Definitely a call to make this a flexible array in net-next (ht[]), so
that compiler would have catch the bug.
