[v4,bpf,0/2] bpf: return proper error codes for lwt redirect

Message

lwt xmit hook does not expect positive return values in function
ip_finish_output2 and ip6_finish_output2. However, BPF redirect programs
can return positive values such like NET_XMIT_DROP, NET_RX_DROP, and etc
as errors. Such return values can panic the kernel unexpectedly:

This patch fixes the return values from BPF redirect, so the error
handling would be consistent at xmit hook. It also adds a few test cases
to prevent future regressions.

v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/ 
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/[e-mail]/ 
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/[e-mail]/

changes since v3:
  * minor change in commit message and changelogs
  * tested by Jakub Sitnicki

changes since v2:
  * subject name changed
  * also covered redirect to ingress case
  * added selftests

changes since v1:
  * minor code style changes
