While experimenting with applying noqueue to a classful queue discipline, we discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the __dev_queue_xmit() path that generates a kernel OOPS:
# dev=enp0s5 # tc qdisc replace dev $dev root handle 1: htb default 1 # tc class add dev $dev parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 10mbit # tc qdisc add dev $dev parent 1:1 handle 10: noqueue # ping -I $dev -w 1 -c 1 1.1.1.1

Previously in commit d66d6c3152e8 ("net: sched: register noqueue qdisc"), NULL was set for the noqueue discipline on noqueue init so that __dev_queue_xmit() falls through for the noqueue case. This also sets a bypass of the enqueue NULL check in the register_qdisc() function for the struct noqueue_disc_ops.
Classful queue disciplines make it past the NULL check in __dev_queue_xmit() because the discipline is set to htb (in this case), and then in the call to __dev_xmit_skb(), it calls into htb_enqueue() which grabs a leaf node for a class and then calls qdisc_enqueue() by passing in a queue discipline which assumes ->enqueue() is not set to NULL.
Fix this by not allowing classes to be assigned to the noqueue discipline. Linux TC Notes states that classes cannot be set to the noqueue discipline. [1] Let's enforce that here.
