    net: flow_offload: simplify hw stats check handling · 060b6381
    Edward Cree authored
    Make FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_DONT_CARE be all bits, rather than none, so that
     drivers and __flow_action_hw_stats_check can use simple bitwise checks.
    
    Pre-fill all actions with DONT_CARE in flow_rule_alloc(), rather than
     relying on implicit semantics of zero from kzalloc, so that callers which
     don't configure action stats themselves (i.e. netfilter) get the correct
     behaviour by default.
    
    Only the kernel's internal API semantics change; the TC uAPI is unaffected.
    
    v4: move DONT_CARE setting to flow_rule_alloc() for robustness and simplicity.
    
    v3: set DONT_CARE in nft and ct offload.
    
    v2: rebased on net-next, removed RFC tags.
