Add functions to create and destroy flow meter aso object. This object only supports the range allocation. 64 objects are allocated at a time, and there are two meters in each object. Usually only one meter is allocated for a flow, so bitmap is used to manage these 128 meters. TC police action is mapped to hardware meter. As the index is unique for each police action, add APIs to allocate or free hardware meter by the index. If the meter is already created, increment its refcnt, otherwise create new one. If police action has different parameters, update hardware meter accordingly.

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.
