Here it my concrete proposal for a fix.

pkt_sched: Fix queue quiescence testing in dev_deactivate().

Based upon discussions with Jarek P. and Herbert Xu.

First, we're testing the wrong qdisc.  We just reset the device
queue qdiscs to &noop_qdisc and checking it's state is completely
pointless here.

We want to wait until the previous qdisc that was sitting at
the ->qdisc pointer is not busy any more.  And that would be
->qdisc_sleeping.

Because of how we propagate the samples qdisc pointer down into
qdisc_run and friends via per-cpu ->output_queue and netif_schedule,
we have to wait also for the __QDISC_STATE_SCHED bit to clear as
well.
