[PATCH 2.6 2/5]: refcount qdisc->dev

[Patrick McHardy <kaber@trash.net>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 242 bytes --]

This patch adds refcounting for qdisc->dev to avoid accessing freed memory
from the __qdisc_destroy rcu-callback when the device is unregistered. 
Without
refcounting netdev_wait_allrefs could free the device before __qdisc_destroy
is done.
