kernel: net/sched: act_api: use RCU with deferred freeing for action lifecycle

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel's networking scheduler. A race condition, which is a problem that occurs when multiple operations try to access the same resource at the same time, exists when network filter operations are run concurrently. This can lead to a Use-After-Free UAF vulnerability,...
