[PATCH 1/5] net: export __dev_fill_forward_path

From: Ryan Chen <rchen14b at gmail.com>
Export __dev_fill_forward_path() which accepts a caller-supplied
net_device_path_ctx, allowing callers to pre-populate context (e.g.
VLAN state) before the forward path walk. The existing
dev_fill_forward_path() is refactored to call it.
This is a prerequisite for nft_flow_offload bridge offload, which needs
to supply a pre-populated ctx for bridge port devices.
