Subject: [PATCH 5.17 102/140] selftests: ocelot: tc_flower_chains: specify conform-exceed action for policer

From: Vladimir Oltean <vladimir.oltean@....com>

commit 5a7c5f70c743c6cf32b44b05bd6b19d4ad82f49d upstream.

As discussed here with Ido Schimmel:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20220224102908.5255-2-jianbol@nvidia.com/

the default conform-exceed action is "reclassify", for a reason we don't
really understand.

The point is that hardware can't offload that police action, so not
specifying "conform-exceed" was always wrong, even though the command
used to work in hardware (but not in software) until the kernel started
adding validation for it.

Fix the command used by the selftest by making the policer drop on
exceed, and pass the packet to the next action (goto) on conform.
