Subject: [PATCH v3] net: ifb: record drop reason when redirect device is missing

When redirecting packets in ifb_ri_tasklet(), the skb is dropped
if the original ingress device can no longer be found.

Use kfree_skb_reason() with SKB_DROP_REASON_DEV_DOWN so the drop
is properly attributed.

No functional change intended.
