net/sched: prepare TC actions to properly validate the control action

- pass a pointer to struct tcf_proto in each actions's init() handler,
  to allow validating the control action, checking whether the chain
  exists and (eventually) refcounting it.
- remove code that validates the control action after a successful call
  to the action's init() handler, and replace it with a test that forbids
  addition of actions having 'goto_chain' and NULL goto_chain pointer at
  the same time.
- add tcf_action_check_ctrlact(), that will validate the control action
  and eventually allocate the action 'goto_chain' within the init()
  handler.
- add tcf_action_set_ctrlact(), that will assign the control action and
  swap the current 'goto_chain' pointer with the new given one.

This disallows 'goto_chain' on actions that don't initialize it properly
in their init() handler, i.e. calling tcf_action_check_ctrlact() after
successful IDR reservation and then calling tcf_action_set_ctrlact()
to assign 'goto_chain' and 'tcf_action' consistently.

By doing this, the kernel does not leak anymore refcounts when a valid
'goto chain' handle is replaced in TC actions, causing kmemleak splats
like the following one:

 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 42 ingress protocol ip flower \
 > ip_proto tcp action drop
 # tc chain add dev dd0 chain 43 ingress protocol ip flower \
 > ip_proto udp action drop
 # tc filter add dev dd0 ingress matchall \
 > action gact goto chain 42 index 66
 # tc filter replace dev dd0 ingress matchall \
 > action gact goto chain 43 index 66
 # echo scan >/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak
