Currently, after creating an ingress (or clsact) Qdisc and grafting it
under TC_H_INGRESS (TC_H_CLSACT), it is possible to graft it again under
e.g. a TBF Qdisc:

$ ip link add ifb0 type ifb
$ tc qdisc add dev ifb0 handle 1: root tbf rate 20kbit buffer 1600 limit 3000
$ tc qdisc add dev ifb0 clsact
$ tc qdisc link dev ifb0 handle ffff: parent 1:1
$ tc qdisc show dev ifb0
qdisc tbf 1: root refcnt 2 rate 20Kbit burst 1600b lat 560.0ms
qdisc clsact ffff: parent ffff:fff1 refcnt 2
^^^^^^^^

clsact's refcount has increased: it is now grafted under both
TC_H_CLSACT and 1:1.

ingress and clsact Qdiscs should only be used under TC_H_INGRESS
(TC_H_CLSACT). Prohibit regrafting them.
