net: sched: disallow noqueue for qdisc classes

While experimenting with applying noqueue to a classful queue discipline,
we discovered a NULL pointer dereference in the __dev_queue_xmit()
path that generates a kernel OOPS:

    # dev=enp0s5
    # tc qdisc replace dev $dev root handle 1: htb default 1
    # tc class add dev $dev parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 10mbit
    # tc qdisc add dev $dev parent 1:1 handle 10: noqueue
    # ping -I $dev -w 1 -c 1 1.1.1.1

Previously in commit d66d6c31 ("net: sched: register noqueue
qdisc"), NULL was set for the noqueue discipline on noqueue init
so that __dev_queue_xmit() falls through for the noqueue case. This
also sets a bypass of the enqueue NULL check in the
register_qdisc() function for the struct noqueue_disc_ops.

Classful queue disciplines make it past the NULL check in
__dev_queue_xmit() because the discipline is set to htb (in this case),
and then in the call to __dev_xmit_skb(), it calls into htb_enqueue()
which grabs a leaf node for a class and then calls qdisc_enqueue() by
passing in a queue discipline which assumes ->enqueue() is not set to NULL.

Fix this by not allowing classes to be assigned to the noqueue
discipline. Linux TC Notes states that classes cannot be set to
the noqueue discipline. [1] Let's enforce that here.
