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.
