Nikolay Aleksandrov 88c2ace69d sch_htb: fix crash on init failure
The commit below added a call to the ->destroy() callback for all qdiscs
which failed in their ->init(), but some were not prepared for such
change and can't handle partially initialized qdisc. HTB is one of them
and if any error occurs before the qdisc watchdog timer and qdisc work are
initialized then we can hit either a null ptr deref (timer->base) when
canceling in ->destroy or lockdep error info about trying to register
a non-static key and a stack dump. So to fix these two move the watchdog
timer and workqueue init before anything that can err out.
To reproduce userspace needs to send broken htb qdisc create request,
tested with a modified tc (q_htb.c).

Note that probably this bug goes further back because the default qdisc
handling always calls ->destroy on init failure too.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
