[PATCH net] htb: call qdisc_root with rcu read lock held

saw a debug splat:
net/include/net/sch_generic.h:287 suspicious rcu_dereference_check() usage!
other info that might help us debug this:
rcu_scheduler_active = 1, debug_locks = 0
 2 locks held by kworker/2:1/710:
  #0:  ("events"){.+.+.+}, at: [<ffffffff8106ca1d>]
  #1:  ((&q->work)){+.+...}, at: [<ffffffff8106ca1d>] process_one_work+0x14d/0x690
Workqueue: events htb_work_func
Call Trace:

 [<ffffffff8109fee7>] lockdep_rcu_suspicious+0xe7/0x120
