Subject: [PATCH 4.20 59/76] net: sched: act_tunnel_key: fix NULL pointer dereference during init

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

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

From: Vlad Buslov <vladbu@...lanox.com>

[ Upstream commit a3df633a3c92bb96b06552c3f828d7c267774379 ]

Metadata pointer is only initialized for action TCA_TUNNEL_KEY_ACT_SET, but
it is unconditionally dereferenced in tunnel_key_init() error handler.
Verify that metadata pointer is not NULL before dereferencing it in
tunnel_key_init error handling code.
