lwt xmit hook does not expect positive return values in function ip_finish_output2 and ip6_finish_output2. However, BPF redirect programs can return positive values such like NET_XMIT_DROP, NET_RX_DROP, and etc as errors. Such return values can panic the kernel unexpectedly:

This patch fixes the return values from BPF redirect, so the error handling would be consistent at xmit hook. It also adds a few test cases to prevent future regressions.
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ZLdY6JkWRccunvu0@debian.debian/ v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ZLbYdpWC8zt9EJtq@debian.debian/
changes since v2: * subject name changed * also covered redirect to ingress case * added selftests
changes since v1: * minor code style changes
