net/sched: fix idr leak in the error path of tcf_simp_init()



if the kernel fails to duplicate 'sdata', creation of a new action fails
with -ENOMEM. However, subsequent attempts to install the same action
using the same value of 'index' systematically fail with -ENOSPC, and
that value of 'index' will no more be usable by act_simple, until rmmod /
insmod of act_simple.ko is done:

 # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100
 # tc actions list action simple

        action order 0: Simple <hello>
         index 100 ref 1 bind 0
 # tc actions flush action simple
 # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: Cannot allocate memory
 We have an error talking to the kernel
 # tc actions flush action simple
 # tc actions add action simple sdata hello index 100
 RTNETLINK answers: No space left on device

Fix this in the error path of tcf_simp_init(), calling tcf_idr_release()
in place of tcf_idr_cleanup().
