The procedure of attaching an action template to an existing matcher had
a few issues:
1. Attaching accidentally overran the `at` array in bwc_matcher, which
would result in memory corruption. This bug wasn't triggered, but it
is possible to trigger it by attaching action templates beyond the
initial buffer size of 8. Fix this by converting to a dynamically
sized buffer and reallocating if needed.
2. Similarly, the `at` array inside the native matcher was never
reallocated. Fix this the same as above.
3. The bwc layer treated any error in action template attach as a signal
that the matcher should be rehashed to account for a larger number of
action STEs. In reality, there are other unrelated errors that can
arise and they should be propagated upstack. Fix this by adding a
`need_rehash` output parameter that's orthogonal to error codes.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
