Davide Caratti 1f110e7cae net/sched: fix NULL dereference in the error path of tcf_sample_init()
when the following command

 # tc action add action sample rate 100 group 100 index 100

is run for the first time, and psample_group_get(100) fails to create a
new group, tcf_sample_cleanup() calls psample_group_put(NULL), thus
causing the following error:

Fix it in tcf_sample_cleanup(), ensuring that calls to psample_group_put(p)
are done only when p is not NULL.

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.
