we have the exact same block with comments in alloc_mod_hdr_actions() which
is called later after we parse the action and now parsing the pedit fields.
your check for max_actions was there in prev v. why move it?
if like this I suggest we create a small static function to get max actions
for a namespace and call it from both places to get max actions.

please rephrase the msg to be consistent
i.e. The pedit offload action is not supported
