It has never been truly lockless, it uses two spinlocks in the ring buffer
implementation, and it introduced a q->seqlock recently, with this patch
now we have priv->lock, 4 locks in total. So our "lockless" qdisc ends
up having more locks than others. ;) I don't think we are going to a
right direction...

Thanks.
