Subject: net_sched: fix struct tc_u_hnode layout in u32
From: WANG Cong <xiyou.wangcong@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 5778d39d070b4ac5f889928175b7f2d53ae7504e ]
We dynamically allocate divisor+1 entries for ->ht[] in tc_u_hnode:
ht = kzalloc(sizeof(*ht) + divisor*sizeof(void *), GFP_KERNEL);
So ->ht is supposed to be the last field of this struct, however
this is broken, since an rcu head is appended after it.
Fixes: 1ce87720d456 ("net: sched: make cls_u32 lockless")
