When application fails to pass flags in netlink TLV when replacing
existing skbmod action, the kernel will leak refcnt:
$ tc actions get action skbmod index 1
total acts 0
action order 0: skbmod pipe set smac 00:11:22:33:44:55
index 1 ref 1 bind 0
For example, at this point a buggy application replaces the action with
index 1 with new smac 00:aa:22:33:44:55, it fails because of zero flags,
however refcnt gets bumped:
$ tc actions get actions skbmod index 1
total acts 0
action order 0: skbmod pipe set smac 00:11:22:33:44:55
index 1 ref 2 bind 0
$
Tha patch fixes this by calling tcf_idr_release() on existing actions.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
