[c-nsp] Control plane policing for BFD

Another 7600 quirk.

CSCsg20022 - ACL counters for BFD packets don't increment with CoPP

Sounds like CoPP applies the QoS policy in hardware and the counters you
see in CoPP are based on packets seen outside of CEF in software. Since BFD
is in the CEF path, not the process path, these packets end up bypassing
the process path and don't update the counters.
