[PATCH net v2 0/1] net/sched: defer qdisc freeing after failed creation

This is v2 of the qdisc failed-creation lifetime fix posted by Kyle Zeng
and David Lee [1].  The public reproducer is available in a follow-up
message [2].

When clsact binds a populated shared ingress block, ->init() can publish
an embedded mini_Qdisc before qdisc_create() completes.  A later invalid
TCA_RATE makes estimator setup fail.  The unwind removes the published
pointer but frees the containing qdisc synchronously while tc_run() can
still hold it.

The fix itself is unchanged: failed qdiscs are retired through RCU.

With the public reproducer from [2], the vulnerable kernel reports a
KASAN UAF in tc_run(), with the free in qdisc_create().  The same test
completes without a KASAN report on v2.

Changes in v2:
- inline qdisc_free() into qdisc_free_cb()
- use qdisc_free_rcu() for normal and failed-construction teardown
- retain Fixes: 51ab2994c387 as requested
- credit the earlier security-list reporter
