net/sched: fix idr leak in the error path of tcf_simp_init() if the kernel fails to duplicate 'sdata', creation of a new action fails with -ENOMEM. However, subsequent attempts to install the same action using the same value of 'index' systematically fail with -ENOSPC, and that value of 'index' will no more be usable by act_simple, until rmmod / insmod of act_simple.ko is done: # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100 # tc actions list action simple action order 0: Simple <hello> index 100 ref 1 bind 0 # tc actions flush action simple # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory We have an error talking to the kernel # tc actions flush action simple # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device We have an error talking to the kernel # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device We have an error talking to the kernel ... Fix this in the error path of tcf_simp_init(), calling tcf_idr_release() in place of tcf_idr_cleanup().
