I think I got it! Enrico wrote to me he will not be able to test
before monday, but IMHO this fix is obvious here...

[NET_SCHED] sch_api: fix qdisc_tree_decrease_qlen() loop

TC_H_MAJ(parentid) for root classes is the same as for ingress, and if
ingress qdisc is created qdisc_lookup() returns its pointer (without
ingress NULL is returned). After this all qdisc_lookups give the same,
and we get endless loop. (I don't know how this could hide for so
long - it should trigger with every leaf class deleted if it's qdisc
isn't empty.)

After this fix qdisc_lookup() is omitted both for ingress and root
parents, but looking for root is only wasting a little time here...
Many thanks to Enrico Demarin for finding a test for catching this
bug, which probably bothered quite a lot of admins.
