Eric reports that by the time we call netdev_lock_ops after
rtnl_unlock/rtnl_lock, the dev might point to an invalid device.
As suggested by Jakub in [0], move rtnl lock/unlock and request_module
outside of qdisc_create. This removes extra complexity with relocking
the netdev.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
