Cong, after some thinking I think I don't really need the tcf_lock here. I
don't really care if the truncate, trunc_size, rate and tcf_action are
consistent among themselves - the only parameter that I care about is the
psample_group pointer, and it is protected via RCU. As far as I see, there is
no need to lock here.

I do need to take the tcf_lock to protect the statistics update in the 
tcf_sample_act code, as far as I see.

Am I missing something?
