It may be up to the driver (in case ANY HW stats is passed) to select
which type of HW stats he is going to use. Add an infrastructure to
expose this information to user.

$ tc filter add dev enp3s0np1 ingress proto ip handle 1 pref 1 flower dst_ip 192.168.1.1 action drop
$ tc -s filter show dev enp3s0np1 ingress
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0
filter protocol ip pref 1 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
  eth_type ipv4
  dst_ip 192.168.1.1
  in_hw in_hw_count 2
        action order 1: gact action drop
         random type none pass val 0
         index 1 ref 1 bind 1 installed 10 sec used 10 sec
        Action statistics:
        Sent 0 bytes 0 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)

Introduce a helper to pass value and selector to. The helper packs them
into struct and puts them into netlink message.

Commit 53eca1f3479f ("net: rename flow_action_hw_stats_types* -&gt;
flow_action_hw_stats*") renamed just the flow action types and
helpers. For consistency rename variables, enums, struct members
and UAPI too (note that this UAPI was not in any official release,
yet).

Currently, user who is adding an action expects HW to report stats,
however it does not have exact expectations about the stats types.
That is aligned with TCA_ACT_HW_STATS_TYPE_ANY.

Allow user to specify the type of HW stats for an action and require it.

Pass the information down to flow_offload layer.

The put of the flags was added by the commit referenced in fixes tag,
however the size of the message was not extended accordingly.

Fix this by adding size of the flags bitfield to the message size.

Now the kernel uses 64bit packet counters in scheduler layer,
we want to export these counters to user space.

Instead risking breaking user space by adding fields
to struct gnet_stats_basic, add a new TCA_STATS_PKT64.

Extend struct tc_action with new "tcfa_flags" field. Set the field in
tcf_idr_create() function and provide new helper
tcf_idr_create_from_flags() that derives 'cpustats' boolean from flags
value. Update individual hardware-offloaded actions init() to pass their
"flags" argument to new helper in order to skip percpu stats allocation
when user requested it through flags.
