====================================

Kernel will uses tcindex_change() to change an existing
traffic-control-indices filter properties. During the
process of changing, kernel will clears the old
traffic-control-indices filter result, and updates it
by RCU assigning new traffic-control-indices data.

Yet the problem is that, kernel will clears the old
traffic-control-indices filter result, without destroying
its tcf_exts structure, which triggers the above
memory leak.

This patch solves it by using tcf_exts_destroy() to
destroy the tcf_exts structure in old
traffic-control-indices filter result.
