[patch net-next 1/2] net: sched: change name of zombie chain to "held_by_acts_only"

From: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us>
Date: 2018-07-31 13:50:33
Subsystem: networking [general], tc subsystem, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Jamal Hadi Salim, Jiri Pirko, Linus Torvalds

From: Jiri Pirko <redacted>

As mentioned by Cong and Jakub during the review process, it is a bit
odd to sometimes (act flow) create a new chain which would be
immediately a "zombie". So just rename it to "held_by_acts_only".
