     Fixes a bug in the tcf_dump_walker function that can cause some actions
     to not be reported when dumping a large number of actions. This issue
     became more aggrevated when cookies feature was added. In particular
     this issue is manifest when large cookie values are assigned to the
     actions and when enough actions are created that the resulting table
     must be dumped in multiple batches.

     The number of actions returned in each batch is limited by the total
     number of actions and the memory buffer size.  With small cookies
     the numeric limit is reached before the buffer size limit, which avoids
     the code path triggering this bug. When large cookies are used buffer
     fills before the numeric limit, and the erroneous code path is hit.

     For example after creating 32 csum actions with the cookie
     aaaabbbbccccdddd

     $ tc actions ls action csum
     total acts 26

         action order 0: csum (tcp) action continue
         index 1 ref 1 bind 0
         cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd

         .....

         action order 25: csum (tcp) action continue
         index 26 ref 1 bind 0
         cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd
     total acts 6

         action order 0: csum (tcp) action continue
         index 28 ref 1 bind 0
         cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd

         ......

         action order 5: csum (tcp) action continue
         index 32 ref 1 bind 0
         cookie aaaabbbbccccdddd

     Note that the action with index 27 is omitted from the report.
