From: Xuanqiang Luo <luoxuanqiang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Batched RTM_DELACTION requests can leak references to unprocessed actions
when deletion stops at a filter-bound action.
Patch 1 fixes the failure cleanup.
Patch 2 adds tc-testing regression coverage.
Failure reproduction (key output excerpts):
python3 tdc.py -f /root/tc-testing/batch-delete.json
not ok 1 d710 - Release tail references after first action deletion fails
Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output:
[...]
index 2 ref 2 bind 0
[...]
index 3 ref 2 bind 0
not ok 2 d711 - Release tail references after middle action deletion fails
Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output:
[...]
index 3 ref 2 bind 0
not ok 3 d713 - Delete a tail action once after a failed batch
Could not match regex pattern. Verify command output:
total acts 2
[...]
index 2 ref 1 bind 0
