    net_sched: remove tcf_block_put_deferred() · 822e86d9

    In commit 7aa0045d ("net_sched: introduce a workqueue for RCU callbacks of tc filter")
    I defer tcf_chain_flush() to a workqueue, this causes a use-after-free
    because qdisc is already destroyed after we queue this work.
    
    The tcf_block_put_deferred() is no longer necessary after we get RTNL
    for each tc filter destroy work, no others could jump in at this point.
    Same for tcf_chain_hold(), we are fully serialized now.
    
    This also reduces one indirection therefore makes the code more
    readable. Note this brings back a rcu_barrier(), however comparing
    to the code prior to commit 7aa0045d we still reduced one
    rcu_barrier(). For net-next, we can consider to refcnt tcf block to
    avoid it.
