net: sched: flower: refactor fl_change
As a preparation for using classifier spinlock instead of relying on external rtnl lock, rearrange code in fl_change. The goal is to group the code which changes classifier state in single block in order to allow following commits in this set to protect it from parallel modification with tp->lock. Data structures that require tp->lock protection are mask hashtable and filters list, and classifier handle_idr. fl_hw_replace_filter() is a sleeping function and cannot be called while holding a spinlock. In order to execute all sequence of changes to shared classifier data structures atomically, call fl_hw_replace_filter() before modifying them.
