Subject: [PATCH net] selftests: ocelot: tc_flower_chains: specify conform-exceed action for policer

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.

Fixes: 8cd6b020b644 ("selftests: ocelot: add some example VCAP IS1, IS2 and ES0 tc offloads")
