Subject: [Patch net] net_sched: fix a memory leak of filter chain

tcf_chain_destroy() is called by tcf_block_put() and tcf_chain_put().
tcf_chain_put() is refcn'ed and paired with tcf_chain_get(),
but tcf_block_put() is not, it should be paired with tcf_block_get()
and we still need to decrease the refcnt. However, tcf_block_put()
is special, it stores the chains too, we have to detach them if
it is not the last user.

What's more, index 0 is not special at all, it should be treated
like other chains. This also makes the code more readable.

Fixes: 744a4cf63e52 ("net: sched: fix use after free when tcf_chain_destroy is called multiple times")
