Hmm.  Rather than me trying to whack-a-mole all the places in
 netfilter that create actions... given that the other user is TC,
 which explicitly sets hw_stats, maybe I should instead make
 flow_rule_alloc() populate all the hw_stats with DONT_CARE?
It certainly makes for a shorter patch, and makes it less likely
 that bugs will be introduced later when new action offloads get
 added to netfilter by forgetting to set hw_stats.
And it means the patch doesn't rely on me knowing things about
 netfilter internals which I apparently don't.
