Well, I don't know if it was left out on purpose or not/missed.
What I know is that act_ct initially had no support for stats of
offloaded entries. ef803b3cf96a wasn't specific to act_ct (and didn't
have to update it), while some support on act_ct was introduced with
beb97d3a3192, but only for sw offload. So it seems to me that it's
just a new piece(/incremental development) that nobody had cared so
far.
If you see it otherwise, I'm happy to change. I'll just need a hint on
which commit I should use for the Fixes tag (as it's not clear to me,
per above).
