Hi Greg,

Kindly consider/review following net/sched fixes for stable 4.9.y.

This patchset is a follow-up of upstream fix
87b60cfacf9f ("net_sched: fix error recovery at qdisc creation")
cherry-picked on stable 4.9.y.

It fix null pointer dereferences due to uninitialized timer
(qdisc watchdog) or double frees due to ->destroy cleaning up a
second time. Here is the original submission
https://www.mail-archive.com/netdev@vger.kernel.org/msg186003.html

Cherry-picked and build tested on Linux 4.9.123 for ARCH=x86_64.

These fixes are applicable for stable 4.4.y kernel as well, but
one of the patches needed a minor rebasing, so I'm resending this
series for 4.4.y in a separate thread to avoid any confusion.

Regards,
Amit Pundir

Change since v1:
Rebased "sch_multiq: fix double free on init failure" patch
