Currently drop action is not offloaded when using userspace datapath
with tc offload.  The patch programs tc gact (generic action) chain
ID 0 to drop the packet by setting it to TC_ACT_SHOT.

Example:
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/add-flow netdev@ovs-netdev \
  'recirc_id(0),in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0806),\
  arp(op=2,tha=00:50:56:e1:4b:ab,tip=10.255.1.116)' drop

Or no action also infers drop
$ ovs-appctl dpctl/add-flow netdev@ovs-netdev \
  'recirc_id(0),in_port(2),eth(),eth_type(0x0806),\
  arp(op=2,tha=00:50:56:e1:4b:ab,tip=10.255.1.116)' ''

$ tc filter show dev ovs-p0 ingress
filter protocol arp pref 2 flower chain 0
filter protocol arp pref 2 flower chain 0 handle 0x1
  eth_type arp
  arp_tip 10.255.1.116
  arp_op reply
  arp_tha 00:50:56:e1:4b:ab
  skip_hw
  not_in_hw
        action order 1: gact action drop
    ...
