mainlining shenanigans

htb_init may fail to do the offload if it's not supported or if a
runtime error happens when allocating direct qdiscs. In those cases
TC_HTB_CREATE command is not sent to the driver, however, htb_destroy
gets called anyway and attempts to send TC_HTB_DESTROY.
It shouldn't happen, because the driver didn't receive TC_HTB_CREATE,
and also because the driver may not support ndo_setup_tc at all, while
q->offload is true, and htb_destroy mistakenly thinks the offload is
supported. Trying to call ndo_setup_tc in the latter case will lead to a
NULL pointer dereference.
This commit fixes the issues with htb_destroy by deferring assignment of
q->offload until after the TC_HTB_CREATE command. The necessary cleanup
of the offload entities is already done in htb_init.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
