[patch net-next RFC] net: sched: cls_api: make reclassify return all the way back to the original tp

[Jiri Pirko]

From: Jiri Pirko <j...@mellanox.com>

With the introduction of chain goto action, the reclassification would
cause the re-iteration of the actual chain. But it perhaps makes more
sense to restart the whole thing. Thoughts?
