To remove rtnl lock dependency in tc filter update API when using clsact
Qdisc, set QDISC_CLASS_OPS_DOIT_UNLOCKED flag in clsact Qdisc_class_ops.
Clsact Qdisc ops don't require any modifications to be used without rtnl
lock on tc filter update path. Implementation never changes its q->block
and only releases it when Qdisc is being destroyed. This means it is enough
for RTM_{NEWTFILTER|DELTFILTER|GETTFILTER} message handlers to hold clsact
Qdisc reference while using it without relying on rtnl lock protection.
Unlocked Qdisc ops support is already implemented in filter update path by
unlocked cls API patch set.

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 Restructured Text 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.
