In previous API tcf_destroy_chain() could be called several times and
some schedulers like hfsc and atm use that. In new API tcf_block_put()
frees block but leaves stale pointer, second call will free it once again.

Which call path do we call tcf_block_put() for multiple times on
the same block? Please be specific, it is not obvious.

you can use tools/testing/selftests/net/rtnetlink.sh to reproduce this
(kernel panics on delete of root qdisc).
