Subject: [PATCH 4.1 138/159] sched: cls_flow: fix panic on filter replace

4.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Daniel Borkmann <daniel@...earbox.net>

[ Upstream commit 32b2f4b196b37695fdb42b31afcbc15399d6ef91 ]

The following test case causes a NULL pointer dereference in cls_flow:

  tc filter add dev foo parent 1: handle 0x1 flow hash keys dst action ok
  tc filter replace dev foo parent 1: pref 49152 handle 0x1 \
            flow hash keys mark action drop

To be more precise, actually two different panics are fixed, the first
occurs because tcf_exts_init() is not called on the newly allocated
filter when we do a replace. And the second panic uncovered after that
happens since the arguments of list_replace_rcu() are swapped, the old
element needs to be the first argument and the new element the second.

Fixes: 70da9f0bf999 ("net: sched: cls_flow use RCU")
