The kernel should only be using the high 16 bits of a kernel
generated priority. Filter priorities in all other cases only
use the upper 16 bits of the u32 'prio' field of 'struct tcf_proto',
but when the kernel generates the priority of a filter is saves all
32 bits which can result in incorrect lookup failures when a filter
needs to be deleted or modified.
