Just before queuing skb for xmit on port, check if skb has been marked by
switchdev port driver as already fordwarded by device.  If so, drop skb.  A
non-zero skb->offload_fwd_mark field is set by the switchdev port
driver/device on ingress to indicate the skb has already been forwarded by
the device to egress ports with matching dev->skb_mark.  The switchdev port
driver would assign a non-zero dev->skb_mark for each device port netdev
during registration, for example.

May I humbly suggest:

	union {
#ifdef CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK
		__u32	secmark;
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV
		__u32	offload_fwd_mark;
#endif
	};

After some studying, I'm largely convinced that these two values are
used in non-conflicting contexts.

Let me know if you can find an exception to this.

Thanks.
