Subject: [PATCH net 7/7] net/sched: fix idr leak in the error path of tcf_skbmod_init()

tcf_skbmod_init() can fail after the idr has been successfully reserved.
When this happens, every subsequent attempt to configure skbmod rules
using the same idr value will systematically fail with -ENOSPC, unless
the first attempt was done using the 'replace' keyword:

 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 ...

Fix this in tcf_skbmod_init(), ensuring that tcf_idr_release() is called
on the error path when the idr has been reserved, but not yet inserted.
Also, don't test 'ovr' in the error path, to avoid a 'replace' failure
implicitly become a 'delete' that leaks refcount in act_skbmod module:

 # rmmod act_skbmod; modprobe act_skbmod
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac index 100
 # tc action add action skbmod swap mac continue index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: File exists
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action replace action skbmod swap mac continue index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action list action skbmod
 #
 # rmmod  act_skbmod
 rmmod: ERROR: Module act_skbmod is in use

Fixes: 65a206c01e8e ("net/sched: Change act_api and act_xxx modules to use IDR")
