Introduce optional 128-bit action cookie.
Like all other cookie schemes in the networking world (eg in protocols
like http or existing kernel fib protocol field, etc) the idea is to save
user state that when retrieved serves as a correlator. The kernel
_should not_ intepret it. The user can store whatever they wish in the
128 bits.

Since it looks like you need a v5 anyway, few comments below.

Since we know anyway that this is part of struct tc_action, can't
you just give this some real/readable name like ...
struct tc_cookie cookie;
... and then ...

Then you can also simplify all this and use nla_memdup() here for
act->cookie->data.
