net/sched: fix race between deactivation and dequeue for NOLOCK qdisc

[ Upstream commit d518d2ed8640c1cbbbb6f63939e3e65471817367 ]

The test implemented by some_qdisc_is_busy() is somewhat loosy for
NOLOCK qdisc, as we may hit the following scenario:

CPU1						CPU2
// in net_tx_action()
clear_bit(__QDISC_STATE_SCHED...);
						// in some_qdisc_is_busy()
						val = (qdisc_is_running(q) ||
						       test_bit(__QDISC_STATE_SCHED,
								&q->state));
						// here val is 0 but...
qdisc_run(q)
// ... CPU1 is going to run the qdisc next

As a conseguence qdisc_run() in net_tx_action() can race with qdisc_reset()
in dev_qdisc_reset(). Such race is not possible for !NOLOCK qdisc as
both the above bit operations are under the root qdisc lock().

After commit 021a17ed796b ("pfifo_fast: drop unneeded additional lock on dequeue")
the race can cause use after free and/or null ptr dereference, but the root
cause is likely older.

This patch addresses the issue explicitly checking for deactivation under
the seqlock for NOLOCK qdisc, so that the qdisc_run() in the critical
scenario becomes a no-op.

Note that the enqueue() op can still execute concurrently with dev_qdisc_reset(),
but that is safe due to the skb_array() locking, and we can't avoid that
for NOLOCK qdiscs.
