[Bridge] [RFC net-next 4/9] net: bridge: switchdev: Forward offloading

Allow switchdevs to forward frames from the CPU in accordance with the
bridge configuration in the same way as is done between bridge
ports. This means that the bridge will only send a single skb towards
one of the ports under the switchdev's control, and expects the driver
to deliver the packet to all eligible ports in its domain.

Primarily this improves the performance of multicast flows with
multiple subscribers, as it allows the hardware to perform the frame
replication.

The basic flow between the driver and the bridge is as follows:

- The switchdev accepts the offload by returning a non-null pointer
  from .ndo_dfwd_add_station when the port is added to the bridge.

- The bridge sends offloadable skbs to one of the ports under the
  switchdev's control using dev_queue_xmit_accel.

- The switchdev notices the offload by checking for a non-NULL
  "sb_dev" in the core's call to .ndo_select_queue.
