net_sched: move tcf_lock down after gen_replace_estimator()

Laura reported a sleep-in-atomic kernel warning inside
tcf_act_police_init() which calls gen_replace_estimator() with
spinlock protection.

It is not necessary in this case, we already have RTNL lock here
so it is enough to protect concurrent writers. For the reader,
i.e. tcf_act_police(), it needs to make decision based on this
rate estimator, in the worst case we drop more/less packets than
necessary while changing the rate in parallel, it is still acceptable.
