[PATCH net] sched: fix infinite loop when creating tc filter

From: Volodymyr Mytnyk <redacted>

After running a specific set of commands tc will become unresponsive:

  $ ip link add dev DEV type veth
  $ tc qdisc add dev DEV clsact
  $ tc chain add dev DEV chain 0 ingress
  $ tc filter del dev DEV ingress
  $ tc filter add dev DEV ingress flower action pass

When executing chain flush, the "chain->flushing" field is set
to true, which prevents insertion of new classifier instances.
It is unset in one place under two conditions:

`refcnt - chain->action_refcnt == 0` and `!by_act`.

Ignoring the by_act and action_refcnt arguments the `flushing procedure`
will be over when refcnt is 0.

But if the chain is explicitly created (e.g. `tc chain add .. chain 0 ..`)
refcnt is set to 1 without any classifier instances. Thus the condition
is never met and the chain->flushing field is never cleared.
And because the default chain is `flushing` new classifiers cannot
be added. tc_new_tfilter is stuck in a loop trying to find a chain
where chain->flushing is false.

By moving `chain->flushing = false` from __tcf_chain_put to the end
of tcf_chain_flush will avoid the condition and the field will always
be reset after the flush procedure.

Fixes: 91052fa1c657 ("net: sched: protect chain->explicitly_created with block->lock")
