In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net_sched: Flush gso_skb list too during ->change()

Previously, when reducing a qdisc's limit via the ->change() operation, only
the main skb queue was trimmed, potentially leaving packets in the gso_skb
list. This could result in NULL pointer dereference when we only check
sch->limit against sch->q.qlen.

This patch introduces a new helper, qdisc_dequeue_internal(), which ensures
both the gso_skb list and the main queue are properly flushed when trimming
excess packets. All relevant qdiscs (codel, fq, fq_codel, fq_pie, hhf, pie)
are updated to use this helper in their ->change() routines.
