Re: [PATCH net-next 0/2] net/sched: let hardware only actions drop per CPU stats

This series lets hardware only actions drop their per CPU stats:

- skbedit, police, mpls and sample honor TCA_ACT_FLAGS_NO_PERCPU_STATS.
- tunnel_key skips the dst cache for skip_sw actions.

With no_percpu set, the first four count like gact and mirred but also
share their race with hardware stats updates when an offloaded action
also runs in software. A separate net patch fixes that race:
"net/sched: act_api: take tcfa_lock for hardware stats updates".
