Subject: [PATCH] net: sched: do not use tcf_proto 'tp' argument from call_rcu

Using the tcf_proto pointer 'tp' from inside the classifiers callback
is not valid because it may have been cleaned up by another call_rcu
occuring on another CPU.

'tp' is currently being used by tcf_unbind_filter() in this patch we
move instances of tcf_unbind_filter outside of the call_rcu() context.
This is safe to do because any running schedulers will either read the
valid class field or it will be zeroed.

And all schedulers today when the class is 0 do a lookup using the
same call used by the tcf_exts_bind(). So even if we have a running
classifier hit the null class pointer it will do a lookup and get
to the same result. This is particularly fragile at the moment because
the only way to verify this is to audit the schedulers call sites.
