net: sched: fix cleanup NULL pointer exception in act_mirr



A new mirred action is created by the tcf_mirred_init function. This
contains a list head struct which is inserted into a global list on
successful creation of a new action. However, after a creation, it is
still possible to error out and call the tcf_idr_release function. This,
in turn, calls the act_mirr cleanup function via __tcf_idr_release and
__tcf_action_put. This cleanup function tries to delete the list entry
which is as yet uninitialised, leading to a NULL pointer exception.

Fix this by initialising the list entry on creation of a new action.
