Subject[patch 21/46] pkt_sched: cls_u32: Fix locking in u32_change()
2.6.28-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@gmail.com>

[ Upstream commit: 6f57321422e0d359e83c978c2b03db77b967b7d5 ]

New nodes are inserted in u32_change() under rtnl_lock() with wmb(),
so without tcf_tree_lock() like in other classifiers (e.g. cls_fw).
This isn't enough without rmb() on the read side, but on the other
hand adding such barriers doesn't give any savings, so the lock is
added instead.
