This change makes it possible to identify SKBs that have been redirected
by TC-BPF (cls_act). This is needed for a number of cases.
(1) For collaborating with driver ifb net_devices.
(2) For avoiding starting generic-XDP prog on TC ingress redirect.
It is most important to fix XDP case(2), because this can break userspace
when a driver gets support for native-XDP. Imagine userspace loads XDP
prog on eth0, which fallback to generic-XDP, and it process TC-redirected
packets. When kernel is updated with native-XDP support for eth0, then the
program no-longer see the TC-redirected packets. Therefore it is important
to keep the order intact; that XDP runs before TC-BPF.

Say Y here if you want to use classifiers for incoming and/or outgoing
packets. This qdisc doesn't do anything else besides running
classifiers,
