After 59cc1f61f ("net: sched: convert qdisc linked list to hashtable") it triggered when classful qdisc is added to inactive device because default qdiscs are added before switching root qdisc. Anyway after commit ea3274695353 ("net: sched: avoid duplicates in qdisc dump") duplicates are filtered right in dumper.
