Fix dev_change_tx_queue_len so it rolls back original value
upon a failure in dev_qdisc_change_tx_queue_len.
This is already done for notifirers' failures, share the code.

The revert of changes in dev_qdisc_change_tx_queue_len
in such case is needed but missing (marked as TODO), yet it is
still better to not apply the new requested value.

Fixes: 48bfd55e7e41 ("net_sched: plug in qdisc ops change_tx_queue_len")

You misunderstand the TODO, that is for reverting tx queue len
change for previous queues in the loop. I still don't have any
nice solution for this yet.

Yeah, your change itself looks good.

Please update the changelog.

Thanks.

I understood this, but maybe didn't describe it clearly. I'll re-phrase.
