To improve hardware offload debuggability count pending 'add', 'del' and 'stats' flow_table offload workqueue tasks. Counters are incremented before scheduling new task and decremented when workqueue handler finishes executing. These counters allow user to diagnose congestion on hardware offload workqueues that can happen when either CPU is starved and workqueue jobs are executed at lower rate than new ones are added or when hardware/driver can't keep up with the rate. Implement the described counters as percpu counters inside new struct netns_ft which is stored inside struct net. Expose them via new procfs file '/proc/net/stats/nf_flowtable' that is similar to existing 'nf_conntrack' file.

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.
