[ Upstream commit 8f67c90ee9148eab3d2b4393c3cf76489b27f87c ]

After commit 4e8ddd7f1758 ("net: sched: don't release reference on action
overwrite"), the error path of all actions was converted to drop refcount
also when the action was being overwritten. But we forgot act_ipt_init(),
in case allocation of 'tname' was not successful:

 # tc action add action xt -j LOG --log-prefix hello index 100
 tablename: mangle hook: NF_IP_POST_ROUTING
         target:  LOG level warning prefix "hello" index 100
 # tc action show action xt
 total acts 1

         action order 0: tablename: mangle  hook: NF_IP_POST_ROUTING
         target  LOG level warning prefix "hello"
         index 100 ref 1 bind 0
 # tc action replace action xt -j LOG --log-prefix world index 100
 tablename: mangle hook: NF_IP_POST_ROUTING
         target:  LOG level warning prefix "world" index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc action show action xt
 total acts 1

         action order 0: tablename: mangle  hook: NF_IP_POST_ROUTING
         target  LOG level warning prefix "hello"
         index 100 ref 2 bind 0

Ensure we call tcf_idr_release(), in case 'tname' allocation failed, also
when the action is being replaced.
