in a couple of TC actions (i.e. csum and tunnel_key), the control action
is stored together with the action-specific configuration data.
This avoids a race condition (see [1]), but it causes a crash when 'goto
chain' is used with the above actions. Since this race condition is
tolerated on the other TC actions (it's present even on actions where the
spinlock is still used), storing the control action in the common area
should be acceptable for tunnel_key and csum as well.
