flow_change() calls tcf_block_q() and immediately dereferences the
returned qdisc pointer to resolve a zero-major baseclass handle.
On shared blocks, tcf_block_q() returns NULL because no qdisc owns
the block, causing a NULL pointer dereference.

Check for NULL before dereferencing and return -EOPNOTSUPP, since
shared blocks have no qdisc handle to derive the major number from.

Triggered by creating a cls_flow filter on a shared block without
a non-zero-major TCA_FLOW_BASECLASS:

  Kernel panic - not syncing: kernel: panic_on_warn set ...
