The TC architecture allows filters and actions to be created independently.
In filters the user can reference action objects using:
tc action add action sample ... index 1
tc filter add ... action pedit index 1

In the current code for act_sample this is broken as it checks netlink
attributes for create/update before actually checking if we are binding to an
existing action.
