Upstream commit:
    openvswitch: Fix template leak in error cases.

    Commit 2f3ab9f9fc23 ("openvswitch: Fix helper reference leak") fixed a
    reference leak on helper objects, but inadvertently introduced a leak on
    the ct template.

    Previously, ct_info.ct->general.use was initialized to 0 by
    nf_ct_tmpl_alloc() and only incremented when ovs_ct_copy_action()
    returned successful. If an error occurred while adding the helper or
    adding the action to the actions buffer, the __ovs_ct_free_action()
    cleanup would use nf_ct_put() to free the entry; However, this relies on
    atomic_dec_and_test(ct_info.ct->general.use). This reference must be
    incremented first, or nf_ct_put() will never free it.

    Fix the issue by acquiring a reference to the template immediately after
    allocation.
