Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 03/12] netlink: specs: tc: use tc-gact instead of tc-gen as struct name

There is a define in the uAPI header called tc_gen which expands
to the "generic" TC action fields. This helps other actions include
the base fields without having to deal with nested structs.

A couple of actions (sample, gact) do not define extra fields,
so the spec used a common tc-gen struct for both of them.
Unfortunately this struct does not exist in C. Let's use gact's
(generic act's) struct for basic actions.
