    net_sched: act: Dont increment refcnt on replace · 1a29321e

     This is a bug fix. The existing code tries to kill many
     birds with one stone: Handling binding of actions to
     filters, new actions and replacing of action
     attributes. A simple test case to illustrate:
    
    XXXX
     moja@fe1:~$ sudo tc actions add action drop index 12
     moja@fe1:~$ actions get action gact index 12
     action order 1: gact action drop
      random type none pass val 0
      index 12 ref 1 bind 0
     moja@fe1:~$ sudo tc actions replace action ok index 12
     moja@fe1:~$ actions get action gact index 12
     action order 1: gact action drop
      random type none pass val 0
      index 12 ref 2 bind 0
    XXXX
    
    The above shows the refcounf being wrongly incremented on replace.
    There are more complex scenarios with binding of actions to filters
    that i am leaving out that didnt work as well...
