This is a followup based on sashiko comments [1] on commit e5b811fe7931
("net/sched: sch_teql: Introduce slaves_lock to avoid race condition and UAF")

Use plain rcu_read_lock()/spin_lock() in teql_master_xmit() instead of the
_bh variants, since ndo_start_xmit is already invoked with BH disabled
by the core stack and the _bh primitives can warn in_hardirq() when xmit
is reached through netpoll or a softirq xmit path with hard IRQs disabled.

Moves rcu_read_lock() after restart: label + adds rcu_read_unlock() before
goto restart (fixes the unbounded RCU hold across retries)
