[Impact]
In the Linux kernel before 6.1.6, a NULL pointer dereference bug in the traffic
control subsystem allows an unprivileged user to trigger a denial of service
(system crash) via a crafted traffic control configuration that is set up with
"tc qdisc" and "tc class" commands. This affects qdisc_graft in
net/sched/sch_api.c.

[Fix]
Clean cherry pick froom upstream.

[Test case]
Compile, boot and PoC tested under KVM.

[Potential regression]
Low.
