    For classifiers getting invoked via tc_classify(), we always need an
    extra function call into tc_classify_compat(), as both are being
    exported as symbols and tc_classify() itself doesn't do much except
    handling of reclassifications when tp->classify() returned with
    TC_ACT_RECLASSIFY.
    
    CBQ and ATM are the only qdiscs that directly call into tc_classify_compat(),
    all others use tc_classify(). When tc actions are being configured
    out in the kernel, tc_classify() effectively does nothing besides
    delegating.
    
    We could spare this layer and consolidate both functions. pktgen on
    single CPU constantly pushing skbs directly into the netif_receive_skb()
    path with a dummy classifier on ingress qdisc attached, improves
    slightly from 22.3Mpps to 23.1Mpps.
