net/sched: ets: fix crash when flipping from 'strict' to 'quantum'



While running kselftests, Hangbin observed that sch_ets.sh often crashes,
and splats like the following one are seen in the output of 'dmesg':

When the change() function decreases the value of 'nstrict', we must take
into account that packets might be already enqueued on a class that flips
from 'strict' to 'quantum': otherwise that class will not be added to the
bandwidth-sharing list. Then, a call to ets_qdisc_reset() will attempt to
do list_del(&alist) with 'alist' filled with zero, hence the NULL pointer
dereference.
For classes flipping from 'strict' to 'quantum', initialize an empty list
and eventually add it to the bandwidth-sharing list, if there are packets
already enqueued. In this way, the kernel will:
 a) prevent crashing as described above.
 b) avoid retaining the backlog packets (for an arbitrarily long time) in
    case no packet is enqueued after a change from 'strict' to 'quantum'.
