3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 3bdac362a2f89ed3e148fa6f38c5f5d858f50b1a upstream. Depending on where ->init fails we can get a null pointer deref due to uninitialized hires timer (watchdog) or a double free of the qdisc hash because it is already freed by ->destroy().
