WANG Cong 74030603df net_sched: move tcf_lock down after gen_replace_estimator()
Laura reported a sleep-in-atomic kernel warning inside
tcf_act_police_init() which calls gen_replace_estimator() with
spinlock protection.

It is not necessary in this case, we already have RTNL lock here
so it is enough to protect concurrent writers. For the reader,
i.e. tcf_act_police(), it needs to make decision based on this
rate estimator, in the worst case we drop more/less packets than
necessary while changing the rate in parallel, it is still acceptable.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
