net/sched: cls_matchall: fix crash when used with classful qdisc

However, when $clsname is 'matchall', a systematic crash can be observed in htb_classify(). HTB and classful qdiscs don't assign initial value to struct tcf_result, but then they expect it to contain valid values after filters have been run. Thus, current 'matchall' ignores the TCA_MATCHALL_CLASSID attribute, configured by user, and makes HTB (and classful qdiscs) dereference random pointers. By ass...
