net_sched: reintroduce dev->qdisc for use by sch_api

Currently the multiqueue integration with the qdisc API suffers from
a few problems:

- with multiple queues, all root qdiscs use the same handle. This means
  they can't be exposed to userspace in a backwards compatible fashion.

- all API operations always refer to queue number 0. Newly created
  qdiscs are automatically shared between all queues, its not possible
  to address individual queues or restore multiqueue behaviour once a
  shared qdisc has been attached.

- Dumps only contain the root qdisc of queue 0, in case of non-shared
  qdiscs this means the statistics are incomplete.

This patch reintroduces dev->qdisc, which points to the (single) root qdisc
from userspace's point of view. Currently it either points to the first
(non-shared) default qdisc, or a qdisc shared between all queues. The
following patches will introduce a classful dummy qdisc, which will be used
as root qdisc and contain the per-queue qdiscs as children.
