ipvlan_queue_xmit() should return NET_XMIT_XXX, but
ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2/l3() returns rx_handler_result_t or NET_RX_XXX
in some cases. ipvlan_rcv_frame() will only return RX_HANDLER_CONSUMED
in ipvlan_xmit_mode_l2/l3() because 'local' is true. It's equal to
NET_XMIT_SUCCESS. But dev_forward_skb() can return NET_RX_SUCCESS or
NET_RX_DROP, and returning NET_RX_DROP(NET_XMIT_DROP) will increase
both ipvlan and ipvlan->phy_dev drops counter.

The skb to forward can be treated as xmitted successfully. This patch
makes ipvlan_queue_xmit() return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS for forward skb.
