Subject: [v1] net_sched: act_police: add 2 new attributes to support police 64bit rate and peakrate

For high speed adapter like Mellanox CX-5 card, it can reach upto
100 Gbits per second bandwidth. Currently htb already supports 64bit rate
in tc utility. However police action rate and peakrate are still limited
to 32bit value (upto 32 Gbits per second). Add 2 new attributes
TCA_POLICE_RATE64 and TCA_POLICE_RATE64 in kernel for 64bit support
so that tc utility can use them for 64bit rate and peakrate value to
break the 32bit limit, and still keep the backward binary compatibility.

Never insert new attributes, as this breaks compatibility with old binaries (including
old kernels)

Keep TCA_POLICE_PAD value the same, thanks.

Thanks for reviewing it!
My change is only contained within the police part. I am trying to
follow the same way htb and tbf support their 64 bit rate.

I tested the old tc binary with the newly patched kernel. It works fine.

I agree the newly compiled tc binary that has these 2 new attributes can
cause backward compatibility issue when running on the old kernel.

If can't insert new attribute, is there any
comment/suggestion/alternative on how to support 64bit police rate and
still keep the backward compatibility?

Just put the new attributes *after* PAD instead of before :)
