Ido Schimmel b50e462bc2 net/sched: act_police: Add extack messages for offload failure ...

For better error reporting to user space, add extack messages when
police action offload fails.

Example:

 # echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/netlink/netlink_extack/enable

 # tc filter add dev dummy0 ingress pref 1 proto all matchall skip_sw action police rate 100Mbit burst 10000
 Error: cls_matchall: Failed to setup flow action.
 We have an error talking to the kernel

 # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
       tc-182     [000] b..1.    21.592969: netlink_extack: msg=act_police: Offload not supported when conform/exceed action is "reclassify"
       tc-182     [000] .....    21.592982: netlink_extack: msg=cls_matchall: Failed to setup flow action

 # tc filter add dev dummy0 ingress pref 1 proto all matchall skip_sw action police rate 100Mbit burst 10000 conform-exceed drop/continue
 Error: cls_matchall: Failed to setup flow action.
 We have an error talking to the kernel

 # cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe
       tc-184     [000] b..1.    38.882579: netlink_extack: msg=act_police: Offload not supported when conform/exceed action is "continue"
       tc-184     [000] .....    38.882593: netlink_extack: msg=cls_matchall: Failed to setup flow action
