[PATCH]: Kill qdisc rcu freeing...

[David Miller <davem@davemloft.net>]

Ok, I flipped the switch.  I've checked in the following to
net-2.6 and it seems to pass a bunch of smoke tests I just
did (flood pings while adding and deleting various qdisc
setups, etc.)

Jarek, I think we can possibly now revert that locking change
you had to make because destroy was outside of RTNL?

pkt_sched: No longer destroy qdiscs from RCU.

We can now kill them synchronously with all of the
previous dev_deactivate() cures.

This makes netdev destruction and shutdown saner as
the qdiscs hold references to the device.
