Following the path through a bridge, there are 2 situations where the
action is to keep:

1. Packets have the encap, and keep the tag at ingress and keep it at
   egress. It is typical in the forward path, when a vlan-device and
   bridge are combined.

2. Packets do not have the encap, are tagged at ingress and untagged
   at egress. Can be found when only a bridge is in the forward path.
   It is also possible in the bridged path, that maybe added later.

For switchdev userports that support SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN in
sitaution 2, it is necessary to introduce DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_KEEP_HW.
The typical situation 1 is unchanged: DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_KEEP.

DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_KEEP_HW is similar to DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_TAG, with the
correcponding bit in ingress_vlans set.

Changes in v12:
 -Split from [PATCH v11 nf-next] netfilter: fastpath fixes

Changes in v11: (results of testing with bridge_fastpath.sh)
- Dropped "No ingress_vlan forward info for dsa user port" patch.
- Added Introduce DEV_PATH_BR_VLAN_KEEP_HW, which changed from
   applying only in the bridge-fastpath to all fastpaths. Added
   a better explanation to the description.

Changes in v10:
- Split from patch-set: bridge-fastpath and related improvements v9
