erspan_xmit() re-enters the network stack via ip_tunnel_xmit(), causing
nested acquisition of _xmit_lock on the underlay device while already
holding the ERSPAN device's _xmit_lock. Both are ARPHRD_ETHER and share
the same lockdep class, creating an ABBA deadlock:

   sch_direct_xmit [lock erspan] -> erspan_xmit -> ip_tunnel_xmit ->
   ip_output -> __dev_queue_xmit -> sch_direct_xmit [lock underlay]

Set dev->lltx = true so HARD_TX_LOCK() skips the spinlock for ERSPAN.
This is safe as erspan_xmit() has no shared mutable state: o_seqno is
atomic, stats use atomic_long_inc, and dst_cache is per-CPU. GRETAP,
the sibling device with identical xmit structure, already sets lltx.
