Hi Cong,

I couldn't reproduce the issue with syzbot repro.c, but it looks like we
are missing tcf_idr_insert_many() in exts->police handling code inside
tcf_exts_validate() which calls tcf_action_init_1(). After recent
changes action is no longer inserted in idr by init_1 and requires
manual call to tcf_idr_insert_many(). I'll send a fix.

Regards,
Vlad
