[PATCH net-next v5 14/14] vxlan: report a circular route as SKB_DROP_REASON_RECURSION_LIMIT

udp_tunnel_dst_lookup() and udp_tunnel6_dst_lookup() return -ELOOP
when the route to the remote end goes out of the vxlan device itself,
and vxlan_xmit_one() counts that in collisions, apart from the
-ENETUNREACH of a failed lookup. The drop reason does not tell them
apart: both are reported as SKB_DROP_REASON_IP_OUTNOROUTES, which
describes a failed route lookup.

ip_tunnel and ip6_tunnel make the same check, rt->dst.dev == dev in
ip_tunnel_xmit() and ip_md_tunnel_xmit() and tdev == dev in
ip6_tnl_xmit(), and report it as SKB_DROP_REASON_RECURSION_LIMIT since
earlier in this series. Report the vxlan case the same way, so that
vxlan and these tunnels name this misconfiguration with one reason.
