net: lwtunnel: fix recursion loops

[ Upstream commit 986ffb3a57c5650fb8bf6d59a8f0f07046abfeb6 ]

This patch acts as a parachute, catch all solution, by detecting
recursion loops in lwtunnel users and taking care of them (e.g., a loop
between routes, a loop within the same route, etc). In general, such
loops are the consequence of pathological configurations. Each lwtunnel
user is still free to catch such loops early and do whatever they want
with them. It will be the case in a separate patch for, e.g., seg6 and
seg6_local, in order to provide drop reasons and update statistics.
Another example of a lwtunnel user taking care of loops is ioam6, which
has valid use cases that include loops (e.g., inline mode), and which is
addressed by the next patch in this series. Overall, this patch acts as
a last resort to catch loops and drop packets, since we don't want to
leak something unintentionally because of a pathological configuration
in lwtunnels.

The solution in this patch reuses dev_xmit_recursion(),
dev_xmit_recursion_inc(), and dev_xmit_recursion_dec(), which seems fine
considering the context.
