In ingress and clsact qdisc TCA_OPTIONS are ignored, since it's parameterless. In tc, we add an empty addattr_l(... TCA_OPTIONS, NULL, 0) to the netlink message nevertheless. This has the side effect that when someone tries a 'tc qdisc replace' and already an existing such qdisc is present, tc fails with EINVAL here. Reason is that in the kernel, this invokes qdisc_change() when such requested qdisc is already present. When TCA_OPTIONS are passed to modify parameters, it looks whether qdisc implements .change() callback, and if not present (like in both cases here) it returns with error. Rather than adding an empty stub to the kernel that ignores TCA_OPTIONS again, just don't add TCA_OPTIONS to the netlink message in the first place.
