Subject[PATCH AUTOSEL for 4.4 037/162] net_sched: move tcf_lock down after gen_replace_estimator()
Date
From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit 74030603dfd9f76c0f279f19f1dd1ee3028fee7a ]

Laura reported a sleep-in-atomic kernel warning inside
tcf_act_police_init() which calls gen_replace_estimator() with
spinlock protection.

It is not necessary in this case, we already have RTNL lock here
so it is enough to protect concurrent writers. For the reader,
i.e. tcf_act_police(), it needs to make decision based on this
rate estimator, in the worst case we drop more/less packets than
necessary while changing the rate in parallel, it is still acceptable.
