That is a good point.
Do we allow skb left in qdisc when the qdisc is deactivated state?
And qdisc_destroy() is not always called after qdisc_deactivate() is called.
If we allow skb left in qdisc when the qdisc is deactivated state, then it is
huge change of semantics for qdisc_deactivate(), and I am not sure how many
cases will affected by this change.
