Subject: [PATCH 5.4 017/408] net_sched: remove a redundant goto chain check

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com>

[ Upstream commit 1aad8049909a6d3379175ef2824a68ac35c0b564 ]

All TC actions call tcf_action_check_ctrlact() to validate
goto chain, so this check in tcf_action_init_1() is actually
redundant. Remove it to save troubles of leaking memory.

Fixes: e49d8c22f126 ("net_sched: defer tcf_idr_insert() in tcf_action_init_1()")
