pkt_sched: Don't hold qdisc lock over qdisc_destroy().

Browse Source 
Based upon reports by Denys Fedoryshchenko, and feedback
and help from Jarek Poplawski and Herbert Xu.

We always either:

1) Never made an external reference to this qdisc.

or

2) Did a dev_deactivate() which purged all asynchronous
   references.

So do not lock the qdisc when we call qdisc_destroy(),
it's illegal anyways as when we drop the lock this is
free'd memory.
