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 broadcast and multicast traffic which the host
has requested.
By setting offload_fwd_mark in the skb the bridge will only flood to
ports in other offloads and other netifs. Set this flag in the DSA and
EDSA tag driver.

For the moment, do this in the tag drivers, not the generic code.
Once we get more test results from other switches, maybe move it back
again.
