The use-case for dropping the MTU check when TC-BPF does redirect to
ingress, is described by Eyal Birger in email[0]. The summary is the
ability to increase packet size (e.g. with IPv6 headers for NAT64) and
ingress redirect packet and let normal netstack fragment packet as needed.

V9:
 - Make net_device "up" (IFF_UP) check explicit in skb_do_redirect

V4:
 - Keep net_device "up" (IFF_UP) check.
 - Adjustment to handle bpf_redirect_peer() helper

How about putting above block into a dev.c routine call it

 dev_forward_skb_nomtu(...)

or something like that. Then we keep this code next to its pair
with mtu check, dev_forward_skb().

dev_forward_skb() also uses netif_rx_internal() looks like maybe we should
just do the same here?

Thanks,
John
