====================
net_sched: first series for RTNL-less qdisc dumps
Medium term goal is to implement "tc qdisc show" without needing
to acquire RTNL.
This first series makes the requested changes in 14 qdisc.
Notes :
- RTNL is still held in "tc qdisc show", more changes are needed.
- Qdisc returning many attributes might want/need to provide
a consistent set of attributes. If that is the case, their
dump() method could acquire the qdisc spinlock, to pair the
spinlock acquision in their change() method.
V2: Addressed Simon feedback (Thanks a lot Simon)
