FLOW_OFFLOAD_XMIT_DIRECT path discovery can stop at a LAG master because
the real egress port is selected later through ndo_get_xmit_slave().
Hardware flow offload drivers that program per-port redirects need the
selected lower device, while software forwarding must still transmit
through the LAG master.

Keep the route tuple software egress ifindex on the LAG master and carry
a separate hardware redirect ifindex. When the direct egress device is a
LAG master, resolve the selected slave with netdev_get_xmit_slave(),
verify that it belongs to the flowtable, and store it as the hardware
redirect device.
