<title>net: Change TCA_ACT_* to TCA_ID_* to match that of TCA_ID_POLICE</title>

<content type='text'>
Modify the kernel users of the TCA_ACT_* macros to use TCA_ID_*. For
example, use TCA_ID_GACT instead of TCA_ACT_GACT. This will align with
TCA_ID_POLICE and also differentiates these identifier, used in struct
tc_action_ops type field, from other macros starting with TCA_ACT_.

To make things clearer, we name the enum defining the TCA_ID_*
identifiers and also change the "type" field of struct tc_action to
id.

<title>net_sched: convert idrinfo-&gt;lock from spinlock to a mutex</title>

<id>95278ddaa15cfa23e4a06ee9ed7b6ee0197c500b</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit ec3ed293e766 ("net_sched: change tcf_del_walker() to take idrinfo-&gt;lock")
we move fl_hw_destroy_tmplt() to a workqueue to avoid blocking
with the spinlock held. Unfortunately, this causes a lot of
troubles here:

1. tcf_chain_destroy() could be called right after we queue the work
   but before the work runs. This is a use-after-free.

2. The chain refcnt is already 0, we can't even just hold it again.
   We can check refcnt==1 but it is ugly.

3. The chain with refcnt 0 is still visible in its block, which means
   it could be still found and used!

4. The block has a refcnt too, we can't hold it without introducing a
   proper API either.

We can make it working but the end result is ugly. Instead of wasting
time on reviewing it, let's just convert the troubling spinlock to
a mutex, which allows us to use non-atomic allocations too.

This reverts commit 331a9295de23 ("net: sched: act: add extack for lookup callback").

This extack is never used after 6 months... In fact, it can be just
set in the caller, right after -&gt;lookup().

All ops-&gt;delete() wants is getting the tn-&gt;idrinfo, but we already
have tc_action before calling ops-&gt;delete(), and tc_action has
a pointer -&gt;idrinfo.

More importantly, each type of action does the same thing, that is,
just calling tcf_idr_delete_index().

So it can be just removed.

As a preparation for removing dependency on rtnl lock from rules update
path, all users of shared objects must take reference while working with
them.

Extend action ops with put_dev() API to be used on net device returned by
get_dev().

Modify mirred action (only action that implements get_dev callback):
- Take reference to net device in get_dev.
- Implement put_dev API that releases reference to net device.
