sch_atm returns this when TC_ACT_SHOT classification occurs.

But all other schedulers that use tc_classify
(htb, hfsc, drr, fq_codel ...) return NET_XMIT_SUCCESS | __BYPASS
in this case so just do that in atm.

Yes, but it's been like this for two decades.

One of the points of my reply to the previous version of this
patch is that indeed it is explicitly returned, intentionally.

But nothing evaluates it?

Only exception is pktgen which treats it line _CN and _DROP...

[ But I dont mind if you'd rather leave it alone, I just find it
  silly we have a NET_XMIT_ that has no clear meaning or use ]
