multiq_dequeue() takes a packet from a band's child with a direct
->dequeue() call after multiq_peek() peeked it. When the child is
non-work-conserving the peek stashes the skb in the child's gso_skb, so
the direct dequeue returns a different skb and orphans the stash,
desyncing the child's qlen/backlog. With a qfq child reached through a
peeking parent (e.g. tbf) this re-enters the child on an emptied list and
dereferences NULL, panicking the kernel from softirq on ordinary egress.
Take the packet through qdisc_dequeue_peeked(), as sch_prio already does
and as sch_red and sch_sfb were just fixed to do. The helper is a no-op
when the child has no stash, so a work-conserving child is unaffected.
