The problem described here also happens in the case some error happens 
if the action array allocation fails and before the 'miss_cookie_node' 
assignment inside 'tcf_exts_miss_cookie_base_alloc()'.

Seems like a better way to solve this issue is to just:
diff --git a/net/sched/cls_api.c b/net/sched/cls_api.c
index 35785a36c802..3c3629c9e7b6 100644
