net/sched: cls_api: Fix lockup on flushing explicitly created chain
[ Upstream commit c9a82bec02c339cdda99b37c5e62b3b71fc4209c ]
Mingshuai Ren reports:
When a new chain is added by using tc, one soft lockup alarm will be
generated after delete the prio 0 filter of the chain. To reproduce
the problem, perform the following steps:
(1) tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: htb default 1
(2) tc chain add dev eth0
(3) tc filter del dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1: prio 0
(4) tc filter add dev eth0 chain 0 parent 1:
Fix the issue by accounting for additional reference to chains that are
explicitly created by RTM_NEWCHAIN message as opposed to implicitly by
RTM_NEWTFILTER message.
