Even if they properly register, they are not visible.

Take a look at
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=95dc19299f741c986227ec33e23cbf9b3321f812

for some context.

When a default pfifo is created on say a HTB class, you do not see it by
default in a dump.

If you have 100 HTB classes, HTB created 100 pfifo just fine, and it
works, unless an admin tries to delete them maybe ;)
