====================
When ungrafting from PRIO, replace child with FIFO
When a child Qdisc is removed from one of the PRIO Qdisc's bands, it is
replaced unconditionally by a NOOP qdisc. As a result, any traffic hitting
that band gets dropped. That is incorrect--no Qdisc was explicitly added
when PRIO was created, and after removal, none should have to be added
either.
In patch #2, this problem is fixed for PRIO by first attempting to create a
default Qdisc and only falling back to noop when that fails. This pattern
of attempting to create an invisible FIFO, using NOOP only as a fallback,
is also seen in some other Qdiscs.
The only driver currently offloading PRIO (and thus presumably the only one
impacted by this) is mlxsw. Therefore patch #1 extends mlxsw to handle the
replacement by an invisible FIFO gracefully.
