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

From: Davide Caratti <dcaratti@redhat.com>


[ Upstream commit 1edf8abe04090c4f41a85e42c66638be1ee69156 ]

when the following command

 # tc actions replace action vlan pop index 100

is run for the first time, and tcf_vlan_init() fails allocating struct
tcf_vlan_params, tcf_vlan_cleanup() calls kfree_rcu(NULL, ...). This causes
the following error:

fix this in tcf_vlan_cleanup(), ensuring that kfree_rcu(p, ...) is called
only when p is not NULL.
