[PATCH net-next v3 1/9] net/sched: optimize action stats api calls

[Oz Shlomo <ozsh@nvidia.com>]

Currently the hw action stats update is called from tcf_exts_hw_stats_update,
when a tc filter is dumped, and from tcf_action_copy_stats, when a hw
action is dumped.
However, the tcf_action_copy_stats is also called from tcf_action_dump.
As such, the hw action stats update cb is called 3 times for every
tc flower filter dump.

Move the tc action hw stats update from tcf_action_copy_stats to
tcf_dump_walker to update the hw action stats when tc action is dumped.
