Thank you very much for the suggestions! TAP_UNATTACHED is more suitable.

The tap/tun are only two of drivers in linux kernel. We have already introduced
another two tap/tun specific reasons.

My concern is we may finally have too many reasons. That's why I am always
trying to define the reason as generic as possible so that they will be re-used
by most networking drivers.

We may expand the reason if it is fine to have too many reasons for skb_drop_reason.
