[PATCH net-next 1/1] net sched actions: fix invalid pointer dereferencing if skbedit flags missing

[Roman Mashak <mrv@mojatatu.com>]

When application fails to pass flags in netlink TLV for a new skbedit action,
the kernel results in the following oops:

The caller calls action's ->init() and passes pointer to "struct tc_action *a",
which later may initialized to point at the existing action, otherwise
"struct tc_action *a" is still invalid, and therefore dereferencing it is error.

So checking flags should be done as early as possible, before idr lookups.
