Subject: [PATCH RFC net-next] net: sched: act_mirred: Extend the cpu mirred nest guard with an explicit loop ttl

As pointed out by Jamal in:
https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/CAM0EoMn4C-zwrTCGzKzuRYukxoqBa8tyHyFDwUSZYwkMOUJ4Lw@mail.gmail.com/

Mirred is allowing for infinite loops in certain use cases, such as the
following:

----
sudo ip netns add p4node
sudo ip link add p4port0 address 10:00:00:01:AA:BB type veth peer \
   port0 address 10:00:00:02:AA:BB

sudo ip link set dev port0 netns p4node
sudo ip a add 10.0.0.1/24 dev p4port0
sudo ip neigh add 10.0.0.2 dev p4port0 lladdr 10:00:00:02:aa:bb
sudo ip netns exec p4node ip a add 10.0.0.2/24 dev port0
sudo ip netns exec p4node ip l set dev port0 up
sudo ip l set dev p4port0 up
sudo ip netns exec p4node tc qdisc add dev port0 clsact
sudo ip netns exec p4node tc filter add dev port0 ingress protocol ip \
   prio 10 matchall action mirred ingress redirect dev port0

ping -I p4port0 10.0.0.2 -c 1
-----

To solve this, we reintroduced a ttl variable attached to the skb (in
struct tc_skb_cb) which will prevent infinite loops for use cases such as
the one described above.

The nest per cpu variable (tcf_mirred_nest_level) is now only used for
detecting whether we should call netif_rx or netif_receive_skb when
sending the packet to ingress.

Note that we do increment the ttl in every redirect/mirror so if you
have policies that redirect or mirror between devices of up to
MAX_REC_LOOP (4) with this patch that will be considered to be a loop.
