Subject: net/sched: fix NULL dereference in the error path of tcf_sample_init()

From: Davide Caratti <dcaratti@redhat.com>


[ Upstream commit 1f110e7cae09e6c6a144616480d1a9dd99c5208a ]

when the following command

 # tc action add action sample rate 100 group 100 index 100

is run for the first time, and psample_group_get(100) fails to create a
new group, tcf_sample_cleanup() calls psample_group_put(NULL), thus
causing the following error:

Fix it in tcf_sample_cleanup(), ensuring that calls to psample_group_put(p)
are done only when p is not NULL.
