__kfree_skb_defer() uses the old naming where "defer" meant
slab bulk free/alloc APIs. In the meantime we also made
__kfree_skb_defer() feed the per-NAPI skb cache, which
implies bulk APIs. So take away the 'defer' and add 'napi'.

While at it add a drop reason. This only matters on the
tx_action path, if the skb has a frag_list. But getting
rid of a SKB_DROP_REASON_NOT_SPECIFIED seems like a net
benefit so why not.

nf_trace is a debug feature, AFAIU, and yet it sits oddly
high in the sk_buff bitfield. Move it down, pushing up
dst_pending_confirm and inner_protocol_type.

Next change will make nf_trace optional (under Kconfig)
and all optional fields should be placed after 2b fields
to avoid 2b fields straddling bytes.

dst_pending_confirm is L3, so it makes sense next to ignore_df.
inner_protocol_type goes up just to keep the balance.

alloc_cpu is currently between 4 byte fields, so it's almost
guaranteed to create a 2B hole. It has a knock on effect of
creating a 4B hole after @end (and @end and @tail being in
different cachelines).

None of this matters hugely, but for kernel configs which
don't enable all the features there may well be a 2B hole
after the bitfield. Move alloc_cpu there.

There are some use-cases where it is desirable to use bpf_redirect()
in combination with ifb device, which currently is not supported, for
example, around filtering inbound traffic with BPF to then push it to
ifb which holds the qdisc for shaping in contrast to doing that on the
egress device.

Toke mentions the following case related to OpenWrt:

   Because there's not always a single egress on the other side. These are
   mainly home routers, which tend to have one or more WiFi devices bridged
   to one or more ethernet ports on the LAN side, and a single upstream WAN
   port. And the objective is to control the total amount of traffic going
   over the WAN link (in both directions), to deal with bufferbloat in the
   ISP network (which is sadly still all too prevalent).

   In this setup, the traffic can be split arbitrarily between the links
   on the LAN side, and the only "single bottleneck" is the WAN link. So we
   install both egress and ingress shapers on this, configured to something
   like 95-98% of the true link bandwidth, thus moving the queues into the
   qdisc layer in the router. It's usually necessary to set the ingress
   bandwidth shaper a bit lower than the egress due to being "downstream"
   of the bottleneck link, but it does work surprisingly well.

   We usually use something like a matchall filter to put all ingress
   traffic on the ifb, so doing the redirect from BPF has not been an
   immediate requirement thus far. However, it does seem a bit odd that
   this is not possible, and we do have a BPF-based filter that layers on
   top of this kind of setup, which currently uses u32 as the ingress
   filter and so it could presumably be improved to use BPF instead if
   that was available.

There are some use-cases where it is desirable to use bpf_redirect()
in combination with ifb device, which currently is not supported, for
example, around filtering inbound traffic with BPF to then push it to
ifb which holds the qdisc for shaping in contrast to doing that on the
egress device.

Toke mentions the following case related to OpenWrt:

   Because there's not always a single egress on the other side. These are
   mainly home routers, which tend to have one or more WiFi devices bridged
   to one or more ethernet ports on the LAN side, and a single upstream WAN
   port. And the objective is to control the total amount of traffic going
   over the WAN link (in both directions), to deal with bufferbloat in the
   ISP network (which is sadly still all too prevalent).

   In this setup, the traffic can be split arbitrarily between the links
   on the LAN side, and the only "single bottleneck" is the WAN link. So we
   install both egress and ingress shapers on this, configured to something
   like 95-98% of the true link bandwidth, thus moving the queues into the
   qdisc layer in the router. It's usually necessary to set the ingress
   bandwidth shaper a bit lower than the egress due to being "downstream"
   of the bottleneck link, but it does work surprisingly well.

   traffic on the ifb, so doing the redirect from BPF has not been an
