The goto_chain termination action takes a reference of a chain. In that
case, there is an issue when block_put is called tcf_chain_destroy
directly. The follo-up call of tcf_chain_put by goto_chain action free
works with memory that is already freed. This was caught by kasan:
[ 220.337908] BUG: KASAN: use-after-free in tcf_chain_put+0x1b/0x50
[ 220.344103] Read of size 4 at addr ffff88036d1f2cec by task systemd-journal/261

[ 220.418949] free_tcf+0x95/0xc0
So allow tcf_chain_destroy to be called multiple times, free only in
case the reference count drops to 0.

README
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
