bpf: Add BPF_FIB_LOOKUP_SKIP_NEIGH for bpf_fib_lookup

The bpf_fib_lookup() also looks up the neigh table.
This was done before bpf_redirect_neigh() was added.

In the use case that does not manage the neigh table
and requires bpf_fib_lookup() to lookup a fib to
decide if it needs to redirect or not, the bpf prog can
depend only on using bpf_redirect_neigh() to lookup the
neigh. It also keeps the neigh entries fresh and connected.

This patch adds a bpf_fib_lookup flag, SKIP_NEIGH, to avoid
the double neigh lookup when the bpf prog always call
bpf_redirect_neigh() to do the neigh lookup. The params->smac
output is skipped together when SKIP_NEIGH is set because
bpf_redirect_neigh() will figure out the smac also.
