net: sch_generic: aviod concurrent reset and enqueue op for lockless qdisc


Currently there is concurrent reset and enqueue operation for the
same lockless qdisc when there is no lock to synchronize the
q->enqueue() in __dev_xmit_skb() with the qdisc reset operation in
qdisc_deactivate() called by dev_deactivate_queue(), which may cause
out-of-bounds access for priv->ring[] in hns3 driver if user has
requested a smaller queue num when __dev_xmit_skb() still enqueue a
skb with a larger queue_mapping after the corresponding qdisc is
reset, and call hns3_nic_net_xmit() with that skb later.

Reused the existing synchronize_net() in dev_deactivate_many() to
make sure skb with larger queue_mapping enqueued to old qdisc(which
is saved in dev_queue->qdisc_sleeping) will always be reset when
dev_reset_queue() is called.

Fixes: 6b3ba914 ("net: sched: allow qdiscs to handle locking")
