Davide Caratti a90f6dcefc net/sched: don't use dynamic lockdep keys with clsact/ingress/noqueue
Currently we are registering one dynamic lockdep key for each allocated
qdisc, to avoid false deadlock reports when mirred (or TC eBPF) redirects
packets to another device while the root lock is acquired [1].
Since dynamic keys are a limited resource, we can save them at least for
qdiscs that are not meant to acquire the root lock in the traffic path,
or to carry traffic at all, like:

 - clsact
 - ingress
 - noqueue

Don't register dynamic keys for the above schedulers, so that we hit
MAX_LOCKDEP_KEYS later in our tests.

[1] https://github.com/multipath-tcp/mptcp_net-next/issues/451

Changes in v2:
 - change ordering of spin_lock_init() vs. lockdep_register_key()

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

The Linux kernel is the core of any Linux operating system. It manages hardware,
system resources, and provides the fundamental services for all other software.

Quick Start
-----------

* Report a bug: See Documentation/admin-guide/reporting-issues.rst
* Get the latest kernel: https://kernel.org
* Build the kernel: See Documentation/admin-guide/quickly-build-trimmed-linux.rst
* Join the community: https://lore.kernel.org/

Essential Documentation
-----------------------

All users should be familiar with:

* Building requirements: Documentation/process/changes.rst
* Code of Conduct: Documentation/process/code-of-conduct.rst
* License: See COPYING

Documentation can be built with make htmldocs or viewed online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
