net/sched: clear actions pointer in miss cookie init fail

Palash reports a UAF when using a modified version of syzkaller[1].

When 'tcf_exts_miss_cookie_base_alloc()' fails in 'tcf_exts_init_ex()'
a call to 'tcf_exts_destroy()' is made to free up the tcf_exts
resources.
In flower, a call to '__fl_put()' when 'tcf_exts_init_ex()' fails is made;
Then calling 'tcf_exts_destroy()', which triggers an UAF since the
already freed tcf_exts action pointer is lingering in the struct.

Before the offending patch, this was not an issue since there was no
case where the tcf_exts action pointer could linger. Therefore, restore
the old semantic by clearing the action pointer in case of a failure to
initialize the miss_cookie.
