Add new TCA_DUMP_FLAGS attribute and use it in cls API to request terse filter output from classifiers with TCA_DUMP_FLAGS_TERSE flag. This option is intended to be used to improve performance of TC filter dump when userland only needs to obtain stats and not the whole classifier/action data. Extend struct tcf_proto_ops with new terse_dump() callback that must be defined by supporting classifier implementations. Support of the options in specific classifiers and actions is implemented in following patches in the series.

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.
