        } else {
                switch (n->nlmsg_type) {
                case RTM_NEWTFILTER:
                        err = -EEXIST;
                        if (n->nlmsg_flags & NLM_F_EXCL)
                                goto errout;
                        break;

Probably this case needs tcf_destroy() too.
