From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit ec5b0f605b105457f257f2870acad4a5d463984b ] While investigating a related syzbot report, I found that whenever call to tcf_exts_init() from u32_init_knode() is failing, we end up with an elevated refcount on ht->refcnt To avoid that, only increase the refcount after all possible errors have been evaluated.
