I made an error in the name of this new lock in the changlog,
so I decided to fix this in ...the patch.

Sorry,

pkt_sched: Fix qdisc list locking

Since some qdiscs call qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() (so qdisc_lookup())
without rtnl_lock(), adding and deleting from a qdisc list needs
additional locking. This patch adds global spinlock qdisc_list_lock
and wrapper functions for modifying the list. It is considered as a
temporary solution until hfsc_dequeue(), netem_dequeue() and
tbf_dequeue() (or qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen()) are redone.

With feedback from Herbert Xu and David S. Miller.
