    net: sched: do not offload flows with a helper in act_ct
    
    [ Upstream commit 7cd5af0e937a197295f3aa3721031f0fbae49cff ]
    
    There is no hardware supporting ct helper offload. However, prior to this
    patch, a flower filter with a helper in the ct action can be successfully
    set into the HW, for example (eth1 is a bnxt NIC):
    
      # tc qdisc add dev eth1 ingress_block 22 ingress
      # tc filter add block 22 proto ip flower skip_sw ip_proto tcp \
        dst_port 21 ct_state -trk action ct helper ipv4-tcp-ftp
      # tc filter show dev eth1 ingress
    
        filter block 22 protocol ip pref 49152 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
          eth_type ipv4
          ip_proto tcp
          dst_port 21
          ct_state -trk
          skip_sw
          in_hw in_hw_count 1   <----
            action order 1: ct zone 0 helper ipv4-tcp-ftp pipe
             index 2 ref 1 bind 1
            used_hw_stats delayed
    
    This might cause the flower filter not to work as expected in the HW.
    
    This patch avoids this problem by simply returning -EOPNOTSUPP in
    tcf_ct_offload_act_setup() to not allow to offload flows with a helper
    in act_ct.
