net/sched: act_police: allow 'continue' action offload

Offloading police with action TC_ACT_UNSPEC was erroneously disabled even though it was supported by mlx5 matchall offload implementation, which didn't verify the action type but instead assumed that any single police action attached to matchall classifier is a 'continue' action. Lack of action type check made it non-obvious what mlx5 matchall implementation actually supports and caused implementers and reviewers of referenced commits to disallow it as a part of improved validation code.
