Revert "net/sched: cls_u32: fix refcount leak in the error path of
u32_change()", and fix the u32 refcount leak in a more generic way that
preserves the semantic of rule dumping.
On tc filters that don't support lockless insertion/removal, there is no
need to guard against concurrent insertion when a removal is in progress.
Therefore, for most of them we can avoid a full walk() when deleting, and
just decrease the refcount, like it was done on older Linux kernels.
This fixes situations where walk() was wrongly detecting a non-empty
filter, like it happened with cls_u32 in the error path of change(), thus
leading to failures in the following tdc selftests:
6aa7: (filter, u32) Add/Replace u32 with source match and invalid indev
6658: (filter, u32) Add/Replace u32 with custom hash table and invalid handle
74c2: (filter, u32) Add/Replace u32 filter with invalid hash table id
On cls_flower, and on (future) lockless filters, this check is necessary:
move all the check_empty() logic in a callback so that each filter
can have its own implementation. For cls_flower, it's sufficient to check
if no IDRs have been allocated.
This reverts commit 275c44aa194b7159d1191817b20e076f55f0e620.
Changes since v1:
- document the need for delete_empty() when TCF_PROTO_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED
is used, thanks to Vlad Buslov
- implement delete_empty() without doing fl_walk(), thanks to Vlad Buslov
- squash revert and new fix in a single patch, to be nice with bisect
tests that run tdc on u32 filter, thanks to Dave Miller

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
