Subject: [PATCH v2 rfc 7/8] net: dsa: set offload_fwd_mark on received packets

The software bridge needs to know if a packet has already been bridged
by hardware offload to ports in the same hardware offload, in order
that it does not re-flood them, causing duplicates. This is
particularly true for multicast traffic which the host has required.

By setting offload_fwd_mark in the skb the bridge will only flood to
ports in other offloads and other netifs.
