====================
net/sched: act_police: lockless data path

the data path of 'police' action can be faster if we avoid using spinlocks:
 - patch 1 converts act_police to use per-cpu counters
 - patch 2 lets act_police use RCU to access its configuration data.

test procedure (using pktgen from https://github.com/netoptimizer):
 # ip link add name eth1 type dummy
 # ip link set dev eth1 up
 # tc qdisc add dev eth1 clsact
 # tc filter add dev eth1 egress matchall action police \
 > rate 2gbit burst 100k conform-exceed pass/pass index 100
 # for c in 1 2 4; do
 > ./pktgen_bench_xmit_mode_queue_xmit.sh -v -s 64 -t $c -n 5000000 -i eth1
 > done

test results (avg. pps/thread):

  $c | before patch |  after patch | improvement
