[ Upstream commit eb10192447370f19a215a8c2749332afa1199d46 ]

Not now, but it looks you are correct. q->qdisc is NULL until another
additional qdisc is attached (beside tfifo). See 50612537e9ab2969312.
The following patch should work.

From: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net>

netem: catch NULL pointer by updating the real qdisc statistic
