net/sched: cls_api: Support hardware miss to tc action

This series adds support for hardware miss to instruct tc to continue execution
in a specific tc action instance on a filter's action list. The mlx5 driver patch
(besides the refactors) shows its usage instead of using just chain restore.

Currently a filter's action list must be executed all together or
not at all as driver are only able to tell tc to continue executing from a
specific tc chain, and not a specific filter/action.

This is troublesome with regards to action CT, where new connections should
be sent to software (via tc chain restore), and established connections can
be handled in hardware.

Checking for new connections is done when executing the ct action in hardware
(by checking the packet's tuple against known established tuples).
But if there is a packet modification (pedit) action before action CT and the
checked tuple is a new connection, hardware will need to revert the previous
packet modifications before sending it back to software so it can
re-match the same tc filter in software and re-execute its CT action.

The following is an example configuration of stateless nat
on mlx5 driver that isn't supported before this patchet:

 #Setup corrosponding mlx5 VFs in namespaces
 $ ip netns add ns0
 $ ip netns add ns1
 $ ip link set dev enp8s0f0v0 netns ns0
 $ ip netns exec ns0 ifconfig enp8s0f0v0 1.1.1.1/24 up
 $ ip link set dev enp8s0f0v1 netns ns1
 $ ip netns exec ns1 ifconfig enp8s0f0v1 1.1.1.2/24 up

 #Setup tc arp and ct rules on mxl5 VF representors
 $ tc qdisc add dev enp8s0f0_0 ingress
 $ tc qdisc add dev enp8s0f0_1 ingress
 $ ifconfig enp8s0f0_0 up
 $ ifconfig enp8s0f0_1 up

 #Original side
 $ tc filter add dev enp8s0f0_0 ingress chain 0 proto ip flower \
    ct_state -trk ip_proto tcp dst_port 8888 \
      action pedit ex munge tcp dport set 5001 pipe \
      action csum ip tcp pipe \
      action ct pipe \
      action goto chain 1
 $ tc filter add dev enp8s0f0_0 ingress chain 1 proto ip flower \
    ct_state +trk+est \
      action mirred egress redirect dev enp8s0f0_1
 $ tc filter add dev enp8s0f0_0 ingress chain 1 proto ip flower \
    ct_state +trk+new \
      action ct commit pipe \
      action mirred egress redirect dev enp8s0f0_1
 $ tc filter add dev enp8s0f0_0 ingress chain 0 proto arp flower \
      action mirred egress redirect dev enp8s0f0_1

 #Reply side
 $ tc filter add dev enp8s0f0_1 ingress chain 0 proto arp flower \
      action mirred egress redirect dev enp8s0f0_0
 $ tc filter add dev enp8s0f0_1 ingress chain 0 proto ip flower \
    ct_state -trk ip_proto tcp \
      action ct pipe \
      action pedit ex munge tcp sport set 8888 pipe \
      action csum ip tcp pipe \
      action mirred egress redirect dev enp8s0f0_0

 #Run traffic
 $ ip netns exec ns1 iperf -s -p 5001&
 $ sleep 2 #wait for iperf to fully open
 $ ip netns exec ns0 iperf -c 1.1.1.2 -p 8888

 #dump tc filter stats on enp8s0f0_0 chain 0 rule and see hardware packets:
 $ tc -s filter show dev enp8s0f0_0 ingress chain 0 proto ip | grep "hardware.*pkt"
        Sent hardware 9310116832 bytes 6149672 pkt
        Sent hardware 9310116832 bytes 6149672 pkt
        Sent hardware 9310116832 bytes 6149672 pkt

A new connection executing the first filter in hardware will first rewrite
the dst port to the new port, and then the ct action is executed,
because this is a new connection, hardware will need to be send this back
to software, on chain 0, to execute the first filter again in software.
The dst port needs to be reverted otherwise it won't re-match the old
dst port in the first filter. Because of that, currently mlx5 driver will
reject offloading the above action ct rule.

This series adds support for hardware partially executing a filter's action list,
and letting tc software continue processing in the specific action instance
where hardware left off (in the above case after the "action pedit ex munge tcp
dport... of the first rule") allowing support for scenarios such as the above.
