Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: ipt_CLUSTERIP: fix refcount leak in clusterip_tg_check()

The issue takes place in one error path of clusterip_tg_check(). When
memcmp() returns nonzero, the function simply returns the error code,
forgetting to decrease the reference count of a clusterip_config
object, which is bumped earlier by clusterip_config_find_get(). This
may incur reference count leak.

Fix this issue by decrementing the refcount of the object in specific
error path.
