Subject: net_sched: invoke ->attach() after setting dev->qdisc

[ Upstream commit 86e363dc3b50bfd50a1f315934583fbda673ab8d ]

For mq qdisc, we add per tx queue qdisc to root qdisc
for display purpose, however, that happens too early,
before the new dev->qdisc is finally set, this causes
q->list points to an old root qdisc which is going to be
freed right before assigning with a new one.

Fix this by moving ->attach() after setting dev->qdisc.

For the record, this fixes the following crash:

For long term, we probably need to clean up the qdisc_graft() code
in case it hides other bugs like this.
