net: revert "net_sched: move tp->root allocation into fw_init()"

[ Upstream commit d8aecb10 ]

fw filter uses tp->root==NULL to check if it is the old method,
so it doesn't need allocation at all in this case. This patch
reverts the offending commit and adds some comments for old
method to make it obvious.
