    net/sched: fix idr leak in the error path of __tcf_ipt_init() · 91314c27

    __tcf_ipt_init() can fail after the idr has been successfully reserved.
    When this happens, subsequent attempts to configure xt/ipt rules using
    the same idr value systematically fail with -ENOSPC:
    
     # tc action add action xt -j LOG --log-prefix test1 index 100
     tablename: mangle hook: NF_IP_POST_ROUTING
             target:  LOG level warning prefix "test1" index 100
     RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
     We have an error talking to the kernel
     Command "(null)" is unknown, try "tc actions help".
     # tc action add action xt -j LOG --log-prefix test1 index 100
     tablename: mangle hook: NF_IP_POST_ROUTING
             target:  LOG level warning prefix "test1" index 100
     RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device

     ...
    
    Fix this in the error path of __tcf_ipt_init(), calling tcf_idr_release()
    in place of tcf_idr_cleanup(). Since tcf_ipt_release() can now be called
    when tcfi_t is NULL, we also need to protect calls to ipt_destroy_target()
    to avoid NULL pointer dereference.
