If we're redirecting the skb, and haven't called tcf_mirred_forward(), yet, we need to tell the core to drop the skb by setting the retcode to SHOT. If we have called tcf_mirred_forward(), however, the skb is out of our hands and returning SHOT will lead to UaF.
Move the retval override to the error path which actually need it.

Verified the build test
Sorry if it is obvious, but I'm confused by the intention of posting an RFC for stable. Are you asking for buy-in regarding backporting this patch to 6.1.y because for some reason it hasn't already propagated there?
