[PATCH net] cls_cgroup: avoid panic when receiving a packet before filter set

[Matteo Croce]

When a cgroup 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:

    # mkdir /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0
    # echo 0x100001 >  /sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/net_cls.classid
    # echo $$ >/sys/fs/cgroup/net_cls/0/tasks
    # ping -qfb 255.255.255.255 -I eth0 &>/dev/null &
    # tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 10: htb
    # while : ; do
    > tc filter add dev eth0 parent 10: protocol ip prio 10 handle 1: cgroup
    > tc filter delete dev eth0
    > done
    Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000000000028
