Actions API is already updated to not rely on rtnl lock for synchronization. However, it need to be provided with rtnl status when called from classifiers API in order to be able to correctly release the lock when loading kernel module. Extend extension validation function with 'rtnl_held' flag which is passed to actions API. Add new 'rtnl_held' parameter to tcf_exts_validate() in cls API. No classifier is currently updated to support unlocked execution, so pass hardcoded 'true' flag parameter value.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
