[PATCH net-next v2 2/5] net: dsa: add out-of-band tagging protocol

This tagging protocol is designed for the situation where the link
between the MAC and the Switch is designed such that the Destination
Port, which is usually embedded in some part of the Ethernet Header, is
sent out-of-band, and isn't present at all in the Ethernet frame.
This can happen when the MAC and Switch are tightly integrated on an
SoC, as is the case with the Qualcomm IPQ4019 for example, where the DSA
tag is inserted directly into the DMA descriptors. In that case,
the MAC driver is responsible for sending the tag to the switch using
the out-of-band medium. To do so, the MAC driver needs to have the
information of the destination port for that skb.
This out-of-band tagging protocol is using the very beggining of the skb
headroom to store the tag. The drawback of this approch is that the
headroom isn't initialized upon allocating it, therefore we have a
chance that the garbage data that lies there at allocation time actually
ressembles a valid oob tag. This is only problematic if we are
sending/receiving traffic on the master port, which isn't a valid DSA
use-case from the beggining. When dealing from traffic to/from a slave
port, then the oob tag will be initialized properly by the tagger or the
mac driver through the use of the dsa_oob_tag_push() call.

V1->V2:
- Reworked the tagging method, putting the tag at skb->head instead
of putting it into skb->shinfo, as per Andrew, Florian and Vlad's
reviews
