Subject: [net-next PATCH v1 03/11] net: flow_table: add apply action
 argument to tables

Actions may not always be applied after exiting a table. For example
some pipelines may accumulate actions and then apply them at the end
of a pipeline.

To model this we use a table type called APPLY. Tables who share an
apply identifier have their actions applied in one step.
