Kevin Darbyshire-Bryant a658c2e49f net: sched: act_ctinfo: fix action creation
Use correct return value on action creation: ACT_P_CREATED.

The use of incorrect return value could result in a situation where the
system thought a ctinfo module was listening but actually wasn't
instantiated correctly leading to an OOPS in tcf_generic_walker().

Confession time: Until very recently, development of this module has
been done on 'net-next' tree to 'clean compile' level with run-time
testing on backports to 4.14 & 4.19 kernels under openwrt.  During the
back & forward porting during development & testing, the critical
ACT_P_CREATED return code got missed despite being in the 4.14 & 4.19
backports.  I have now gone through the init functions, using act_csum
as reference with a fine toothed comb.  Bonus, no more OOPSes.  I
managed to also miss this issue till now due to the new strict
nla_parse_nested function failing validation before action creation.

As an inexperienced developer I've learned that
copy/pasting/backporting/forward porting code correctly is hard.  If I
ever get to a developer conference I shall don the cone of shame.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

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.
