Yes, the first tc qdisc show is after boot and how it should normally
look like, so 4 tx queues.

# ls /sys/class/net/wlp2s0b1/queues/
rx-0  tx-0  tx-1  tx-2  tx-3

When adding clsact, only the 'qdisc clsact' line should be extra. Given
the extra pfifo_fast ones look the same as above, I would suspect a htab
dumping issue, perhaps. I can debug a bit later tonight on this.
