Therefore, when replacing mq after adding mq, we need to initialize qdiscs in the mq before continuing to graft. Otherwise, it will couse NULL pointer dereference issue in mq_attach(). And the same issue will occur in the attach functions of mqprio, taprio and htb. ffff:fff1 means that the repalce qdisc is ingress. Ingress does not allow any qdisc to be attached. Therefore, ffff:fff1 is incorrectly used, and the command should be dropped.
