if the kernel fails to duplicate 'sdata', creation of a new action fails
with -ENOMEM. However, subsequent attempts to install the same action
using the same value of 'index' systematically fail with -ENOSPC, and
that value of 'index' will no more be usable by act_simple, until rmmod /
insmod of act_simple.ko is done:
# tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100
# tc actions list action simple
action order 0: Simple <hello>
index 100 ref 1 bind 0
# tc actions flush action simple
# tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100
RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
We have an error talking to the kernel
# tc actions flush action simple
# tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100

Fix this in the error path of tcf_simp_init(), calling tcf_idr_release()
in place of tcf_idr_cleanup().
