net, xdp: Update pkt_type if generic XDP changes unicast MAC
If a generic XDP program changes the destination MAC address from/to multicast/broadcast, the skb->pkt_type is updated to properly handle the packet when passed up the stack. When changing the MAC from/to the NICs MAC, PACKET_HOST/OTHERHOST is not updated, though, making the behavior different from that of native XDP. Remember the PACKET_HOST/OTHERHOST state before calling the program in generic XDP, and update pkt_type accordingly if the destination MAC address has changed. As eth_type_trans() assumes a default pkt_type of PACKET_HOST, restore that before calling it. The use case for this is when a XDP program wants to push received packets up the stack by rewriting the MAC to the NICs MAC, for example by cluster nodes sharing MAC addresses.
