There doesn't seem to be agreement over whether qdisc_reset() really
needs to run with the lock held. In fact, the general consensus is
that this really shouldn't run until a grace period had occurred and
therefore parallel TX paths cannot be running any longer.
In any event, this was supposed to work towards a bug fix which
ultimately was fixed instead with the ptr_ring change from John.
So this seems unnecessary now.
If you disagree, please repost with an updated commit message which
explains things further.
Thank you.
