[PATCH net] net/sched: fix netdevice reference leaks in attach_one_default_qdisc()

[Wang Hai]

In attach_default_qdiscs(), when attach default qdisc (fq_codel) fails
and fallback to noqueue, if the original attached qdisc is not released
and a new one is directly attached, this will cause netdevice reference
leaks.

The following is the bug log:

veth0: default qdisc (fq_codel) fail, fallback to noqueue
unregister_netdevice: waiting for veth0 to become free. Usage count = 32
leaked reference.

In attach_one_default_qdisc(), release the old one before attaching
a new qdisc to fix this bug.
