Currently there are only two tc actions lockless:
gact and mirred. But they are questionable because
we don't have anything to prevent a parallel update
on an existing tc action in hash table while reading
it on fast path, this could be a problem when a tc
action becomes complex.
hmm I'm trying to see where the questionable part is in the current
code? What is it exactly.

What did I miss?
OK tracked this down see the other patch 5/6.
