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

    Kernel uses tcindex_change() to change an existing
    filter properties.

    Yet the problem is that, during the process of changing,
    if `old_r` is retrieved from `p->perfect`, then
    kernel uses tcindex_alloc_perfect_hash() to newly
    allocate filter results, uses tcindex_filter_result_init()
    to clear the old filter result, without destroying
    its tcf_exts structure, which triggers the above memory leak.

    To be more specific, there are only two source for the `old_r`,
    according to the tcindex_lookup(). `old_r` is retrieved from
    `p->perfect`, or `old_r` is retrieved from `p->h`.

      * If `old_r` is retrieved from `p->perfect`, kernel uses
    tcindex_alloc_perfect_hash() to newly allocate the
    filter results. Then `r` is assigned with `cp->perfect + handle`,
    which is newly allocated. So condition `old_r && old_r != r` is
    true in this situation, and kernel uses tcindex_filter_result_init()
    to clear the old filter result, without destroying
    its tcf_exts structure

      * If `old_r` is retrieved from `p->h`, then `p->perfect` is NULL
    according to the tcindex_lookup(). Considering that `cp->h`
    is directly copied from `p->h` and `p->perfect` is NULL,
    `r` is assigned with `tcindex_lookup(cp, handle)`, whose value
    should be the same as `old_r`, so condition `old_r && old_r != r`
    is false in this situation, kernel ignores using
    tcindex_filter_result_init() to clear the old filter result.

    So only when `old_r` is retrieved from `p->perfect` does kernel use
    tcindex_filter_result_init() to clear the old filter result, which
    triggers the above memory leak.

    Considering that there already exists a tc_filter_wq workqueue
    to destroy the old tcindex_d
