Subject: [PATCH net-next v12 08/12] virtio_net: Use existing classifier if possible

Classifiers can be used by more than one rule. If there is an existing
classifier, use it instead of creating a new one. If duplicate
classifiers are created it would artifically limit the number of rules
to the classifier limit, which is likely less than the rules limit.
