If a slow path action is a controller action, meter it when the
controller meter is configured.  For other kinds of slow path actions,
meter it when the slowpath meter is configured.

Note, this patch only considers the meters configuration of the
packet's input bridge, which may not be the same bridge that the
action is generated.

This seems to fix the problem in the previous patch.

How about dumping the meters too, for completeness?
