[PATCH 5.1 18/70] cls_matchall: avoid panic when receiving a packet before filter set

[ Upstream commit 25426043ec9e22b90c789407c28e40f32a9d1985 ]

When a matchall classifier is added, there is a small time interval in
which tp->root is NULL. If we receive a packet in this small time slice
a NULL pointer dereference will happen, leading to a kernel panic:

# tc qdisc replace dev eth0 ingress
# tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: matchall action gact drop
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000034
