[PATCH net-next v2 8/8] net: xilinx: tsn: deliver endpoint RX frames to DSA user ports

From: Nagadheeraj Rottela <nagadheeraj.rottela at amd.com>

The DSA core routes an RX frame to a user port from the port metadata
attached to the skb. Without that metadata, frames from the two MACs
cannot reach their swpN netdevs.

Allocate a METADATA_HW_PORT_MUX entry per MAC port at probe and attach
the matching entry to each RX frame by its TUSER port_id. Frames from
MAC1 and MAC2 now reach the correct user netdev, which completes the
conduit data path.

The RX callback runs in softirq and hands the frame to __netif_rx(),
which queues it on the backlog instead of consuming it inline, so the
attached dst must be a counted reference (dst_hold() + skb_dst_set())
to survive the handoff.

Changes in v2:
- Attach the RX port metadata only when the netdev is a DSA conduit
  (netdev_uses_dsa()), so no dev-less dst leaks into the stack when no switch
  is bound.
- Take a real reference on the per-port metadata_dst with dst_hold() +
  skb_dst_set() before the __netif_rx() backlog handoff, instead of
  skb_dst_set_noref() + skb_dst_force(). The entries stay live for the driver
  lifetime, so this drops the rcu_read_lock() that skb_dst_force() would need
  in the softirq callback.
- Release the per-port metadata_dst with dst_release() at teardown, not
  metadata_dst_free(), so an skb still referencing it is not freed early.
