I feel this race cannot happen anymore. I think the fix for that race was to introduce the __LINK_STATE_QDISC_RUNNING bit thus eliminating any races between CPU's. If one CPU has called xmit, the other CPU will enqueue skbs (by holding the queue_lock) and exit from qdisc_run since it finds the bit set already.
