CVE-2026-23449 net/sched: teql: Fix double-free in teql_master_xmit
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: teql: Fix double-free in teql_master_xmit

Whenever a TEQL devices has a lockless Qdisc as root, qdisc_reset should
be called using the seq_lock to avoid racing with the datapath. Failure
to do so may cause crashes like the following:
