This patch adds FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_DONT_CARE which tells the driver
that the frontend does not need counters, this hw stats type request
never fails. The FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_DISABLED type explicitly requests
the driver to disable the stats, however, if the driver cannot disable
counters, it bails out.
TCA_ACT_HW_STATS_* maintains the 1:1 mapping with FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_*
except by disabled which is mapped to FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_DISABLED
(this is 0 in tc). Add tc_act_hw_stats() to perform the mapping between
TCA_ACT_HW_STATS_* and FLOW_ACTION_HW_STATS_*.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
