Factor out the priority vector code from the classifier.
Making the classifier use RCU instead of locking requires parallel
access to the priority vector, pointing to subtables in descending
priority order. When a new subtable is added, a new copy of the
priority vector is allocated, while the current readers can keep on
using the old copy they started with. Adding and removing subtables
is usually less frequent than adding and removing rules, so this
should not have a visible performance implication. As an optimization
for the userspace datapath use, where all the subtables have the same
priority, new subtables can be added to the end of the vector without
reallocation and without disturbing readers.
cls_subtables_reset() is now removed, as it served its purpose in bug
hunting. Checks on the new pvector are now incorporated into
tests/test-classifier.c.
