This patch tries to switch filter list to using struct
list_head, so that on the read side, the list can be traversed
with RCU read lock. Same for actions.

I hope either on egress or ingress classify is already protected by RCU
read lock, but I don't pretend I fully understanding qdisc locking.

Also, I am not sure I use RCU API's correctly at all. At least
I don't see any warning with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y.

Without this patch, the spin_lock easily appears on the top of
my perf top with 4 netperf sessions (4 is the number of CPU)
and with 1000 u32 filters on ingress.

Question 1:
Am I still missing something on qdisc locking?

Question 2:
Is it okay to call qdisc_bstats_update() without any lock?

Please comment.
