  A possible case of null pointer dereference detected by static analyzer
htb_destroy_class_offload() is calling htb_find() which can return NULL value
for invalid class id, moved_cl=htb_find(classid, sch);
in that case it should not pass 'moved_cl' to htb_offload_move_qdisc()
if 'moved_cl' is NULL pointer return -EINVAL.

Conceptually, code looks fine, but it probably won't be accepted without:
- imperative verb in the title
- tree, to which patch must be applied [0]
- more nicely written and formatted commit message. If you are referring to a 
  static analyzer and not to common logic, maybe include, how the warning looks.
  Separate your text into sentences and paragraphs.
