[ Upstream commit 064c5d6881e897077639e04973de26440ee205e6 ] A new mirred action is created by the tcf_mirred_init function. This contains a list head struct which is inserted into a global list on successful creation of a new action. However, after a creation, it is still possible to error out and call the tcf_idr_release function. This, in turn, calls the act_mirr cleanup function via __tcf_idr_release and __tcf_action_put. This cleanup function tries to delete the list entry which is as yet uninitialised, leading to a NULL pointer exception. Fix this by initialising the list entry on creation of a new action.
