The initialisation of P4TC action instances require access to a struct
p4tc_act (which appears in later patches) to help us to retrieve
information like the P4 action parameters etc. In order to retrieve
struct p4tc_act we need the pipeline name or id and the action name or id.
Also recall that P4TC action IDs are P4 and are net namespace specific.
The init callback from tc_action_ops parameters had no way of
supplying us that information. To solve this issue, we decided to create a
new tc_action_ops callback (init_ops), that provies us with the
tc_action_ops struct which then provides us with the pipeline and action
name. In addition we add a new refcount to struct tc_action_ops called
dyn_ref, which accounts for how many action instances we have of a specific
action.
