Is this code duplication unavoidable?

Could the same be achieved by either

extending the original sch_mq to have a variant that calls the
custom cake_mq_change.

Or avoid hanging the shared state off of parent mq entirely. Have the
cake instances share it directly. E.g., where all but the instance on
netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, 0) are opened in a special "shared" mode (a
bit like SO_REUSEPORT sockets) and lookup the state from that
instance.
