Generic XDP devmap multi redirect can leave cloned skbs sharing packet
data. When a devmap egress program mutates packet data, another
destination sharing the same data may observe that mutation.
Fix this by making cloned skbs private before running the generic devmap
egress program. Add selftest coverage for the last-destination case,
where the final destination runs on the original skb while earlier
destinations use cloned skbs.
---
v3:
- Split the kernel fix and selftest into separate patches.
- Move the private-copy logic into dev_map_bpf_prog_run_skb().
- Use deterministic DEVMAP_HASH keys in the last-destination selftest.
- Fix the Fixes tag.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/08c35c70-a59e-4e0e-91db-22b5ec30b611@linux.dev/T/#m613671b243e8651c47f84bb329f0ea668974c549
- Move the private-copy step into dev_map_generic_redirect() so the
last-destination path is covered as well.
- Use skb_copy() instead of skb_unshare() to keep caller ownership
unchanged on allocation failure.
- Add a generic XDP last-destination selftest case.

Generic XDP devmap multi redirect uses skb_clone() for intermediate
destinations and sends the last destination with the original skb. This
can leave multiple destinations sharing the same packet data.
This becomes visible after generic devmap egress-program support was
added: a devmap egress program may mutate packet data, and another
destination sharing the same data can observe that mutation.
Native XDP broadcast redirect does not have this issue because
xdpf_clone() copies the frame data for each destination. Generic XDP
should provide the same per-destination isolation before running a
devmap egress program.
Fix this by making cloned skbs private before running the generic devmap
egress program. Use skb_copy() instead of skb_unshare() so allocation
failure does not consume the skb and the existing caller error paths keep
their ownership semantics.

Strengthen xdp_veth_egress to check that each destination observes the
MAC selected for its own egress ifindex, instead of only checking that
the observed MAC differs from a single magic value.
Add a generic XDP last-destination test where earlier destinations do
not have a devmap egress program while the final destination does. This
covers the case where the final destination runs on the original skb and
could otherwise rewrite packet data still shared with earlier cloned
skbs.
Use deterministic DEVMAP_HASH keys for the egress map so the intended
last destination is stable.
