When an existing node-scope shaper is moved to a different parent
via the group operation, the framework fails to update the leaves
count on both the old and new parent shapers. Only newly created
nodes (handle.id == NET_SHAPER_ID_UNSPEC) trigger the parent
leaves increment at line 1039.
This causes the parent's leaves counter to diverge from the
actual number of children in the xarray. When the node is later
deleted, pre_del_node() allocates an array sized by the stale
leaves count, but the xarray iteration finds more children than
expected, hitting the WARN_ON_ONCE guard and returning -EINVAL.
Rather than adding reparenting support with complex leaves count
bookkeeping, reject group calls that attempt to change an existing
node's parent. Updates to an existing node's rate or leaves under
the same parent remain permitted. We expect that for any modification
of the topology user should always create new groups and let the
kernel garbage collect the leaf-less nodes.
