BTW if you end up with synchronizing fastpath with tcfa_lock, then you
don't need to use tcf_action_*stats() helpers and percpu counters (they
will only slow down action init and increase memory usage without
providing any improvements for parallelism). Instead, you can just
directly change the tcf_{q|b}stats while holding the tcfa_lock. Check
pedit for example of such action.
