The log is not clear in the purpose of the last case: it is used to make a
"subroutine" on the execution of dynamic rule instead of only one action
(it is clear only from both PRs which takes much time to grok rulesets).
Also, it is questionable whether this patch will stay correct in the future
when dynamic rules will be changed, and/or new opcodes (depending on packet
direction) are added. We should keep in mind this place for such future
changes now.
