It could be dropped from this patch.  Its part of my future hash cleanup
strategy.
I also wanted to use it to replace the nqueues counter, but its would
not be correct, because nqueues counter is maintained per netns (network
namespace).

Its currently the netns separation, which is causing "headaches" for my
removal of LRU and direct-hash-cleaning solution...

Ah, good catch.
Given its not even correct, I'll remove the chain_len and repost a V3.
