Some qdiscs like taprio turn out to be actually pretty reliant on a well
configured stab, to not underestimate the skb transmission time (by
properly accounting for L1 overhead).

In a future change, taprio will need the stab, if configured by the
user, to be available at ops->init() time.

However, rcu_assign_pointer(sch->stab, stab) is called right after
ops->init(), making it unavailable, and I don't really see a good reason
for that.

Move it earlier, which nicely seems to simplify the error handling path
as well.
