net_sched: act_bpf: remove spinlock in fast path
Similar to act_gact/act_mirred, act_bpf can be lockless in packet processing with extra care taken to free bpf programs after rcu grace period. Replacement of existing act_bpf (very rare) is done with synchronize_rcu() and final destruction is done from tc_action_ops->cleanup() callback that is called from tcf_exts_destroy()->tcf_action_destroy()->__tcf_hash_release() when bind and refcnt reach zero which is only possible when classifier is destroyed. Previous two patches fixed the last two classifiers (tcindex and rsvp) to call tcf_exts_destroy() from rcu callback. Similar to gact/mirred there is a race between prog->filter and prog->tcf_action. Meaning that the program being replaced may use previous default action if it happened to return TC_ACT_UNSPEC. act_mirred race betwen tcf_action and tcfm_dev is similar. In all cases the race is harmless. Long term we may want to improve the situation by replacing the whole tc_action->priv as single pointer instead of updating inner fields one by one.
