From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

Batched RTM_DELACTION requests can leak references to unprocessed actions
when deletion stops at a filter-bound action.

Patch 1 fixes the failure cleanup.

Patch 2 adds tc-testing regression coverage.

Failure reproduction (key output excerpts):

  python3 tdc.py -f /root/tc-testing/batch-delete.json

not ok 1 d710 - Release tail references after first action deletion fails
	Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output:
[...]
	 index 2 ref 2 bind 0
[...]
	 index 3 ref 2 bind 0

not ok 2 d711 - Release tail references after middle action deletion fails
	Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output:
[...]
	 index 3 ref 2 bind 0

not ok 3 d713 - Delete a tail action once after a failed batch
	Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output:
total acts 2
[...]
	 index 2 ref 1 bind 0

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

A batched RTM_DELACTION request takes a temporary reference on each
action before attempting any deletion. tcf_action_delete() clears
each processed slot and drops its temporary reference before attempting
the deletion. If deletion fails, tca_action_gd() calls
tcf_action_put_many() to release the remaining references, but its
tcf_act_for_each_action() iterator stops at the first NULL slot.

When a batch stops at an action bound to a filter, this leaks a
reference on each subsequent action. A later delete of an unbound
action can then return success without removing it from the IDR.

Walk the full array in tcf_action_put_many() and skip NULL slots to
release the references held on the unprocessed actions.

From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@kylinos.cn>

Add tests for cleanup after a batched RTM_DELACTION request fails at
a gact action bound to a filter. Check that subsequent actions retain
their original reference counts and that earlier successful deletions
are preserved.

Cover failures at the first and middle entries. Verify that a remaining
unbound action can be removed with one subsequent delete.
