commit b82057d9ec851a8aba8a295b959190ef5098f330

    After a decade of trying to deprecate the old policer syntax,
    I believe it is time to kill it. The kernel build option for old
    policer is gone for at least 5 years now (although backward
    compatibility is still there). Being backward compatible meant
    hijacking the keyword "action" and was obstructing policies like:

    tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: protocol ip pref 10 \
    u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:10 \
    action skbedit mark 1 \
    action police rate 10kbit burst 10k pipe \
    action skbedit mark 2 \
    action police rate 20kbit burst 20k pipe \
    action action mirred egress mirror dev dummy0
