[Patch net] net_sched: remove a redundant goto chain check

From: Cong Wang <hidden>
Date: 2020-09-28 18:31:20

All TC actions call tcf_action_check_ctrlact() to validate
goto chain, so this check in tcf_action_init_1() is actually
redundant. Remove it to save troubles of leaking memory.

Fixes: e49d8c22f126 ("net_sched: defer tcf_idr_insert() in tcf_action_init_1()")
