When replacing an existing root qdisc, with one that is of the same kind, the
request boils down to essentially a parameterization change i.e not one that
requires allocation and grafting of a new qdisc. syzbot was able to create a
scenario which resulted in a taprio qdisc replacing an existing taprio qdisc
with a combination of NLM_F_CREATE, NLM_F_REPLACE and NLM_F_EXCL leading to
create and graft scenario.
The fix ensures that only when the qdisc kinds are different that we should
allow a create and graft, otherwise it goes into the "change" codepath.
While at it, fix the code and comments to improve readability.
While syzbot was able to create the issue, it did not zone on the root cause.
Analysis from Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@nxp.com> helped narrow it down.
v1->V2 changes:
- remove "inline" function definition (Vladmir)
- remove extrenous braces in branches (Vladmir)
- change inline function names (Pedro)
- Run tdc tests (Victor)
