when act_skbedit was converted to use RCU in the data plane, we added an
error path, but we forgot to drop the action refcount in case of failure
during a 'replace' operation:
# tc actions add action skbedit ptype otherhost pass index 100
# tc action show action skbedit
total acts 1
action order 0: skbedit ptype otherhost pass
index 100 ref 1 bind 0
# tc actions replace action skbedit ptype otherhost drop index 100
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
We have an error talking to the kernel
# tc action show action skbedit
total acts 1
action order 0: skbedit ptype otherhost pass
index 100 ref 2 bind 0
Ensure we call tcf_idr_release(), in case 'params_new' allocation failed,
also when the action is being replaced.
Fixes: c749cdda90 ("net/sched: act_skbedit: don't use spinlock in the data path")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
