syzbot is able to trigger a failure case inside the loop in tcf_action_init(), and when this happens we clean up with tcf_action_destroy(). But, as these actions are already inserted into the global IDR, other parallel process could free them before tcf_action_destroy(), then we will trigger a use-after-free. Fix this by deferring the insertions even later, after the loop, and committing all the insertions in a separate loop, so we will never fail in the middle of the insertions any more. One side effect is that the window between alloction and final insertion becomes larger, now it is more likely that the loop in tcf_del_walker() sees the placeholder -EBUSY pointer. So we have to check for error pointer in tcf_del_walker().

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.
