lwt xmit hook does not expect positive return values in function
ip_finish_output2 and ip6_finish_output. However, BPF programs can
directly return positive statuses such like NET_XMIT_DROP, NET_RX_DROP,
and etc to the caller. Such return values would make the kernel continue
processing already freed skbs and eventually panic.

This set fixes the return values from BPF ops to unexpected continue
processing, checks strictly on the correct continue condition for
future proof. In addition, add missing selftests for BPF redirect
and reroute cases for BPF-CI.

v5: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1692153515.git.yan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v4: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ZMD1sFTW8SFiex+x@debian.debian/T/
v3: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/cover.1690255889.git.yan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/ZLdY6JkWRccunvu0@debian.debian/
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/bpf/ZLbYdpWC8zt9EJtq@debian.debian/

changes since v5:
* fix BPF-CI failures due to missing config and busybox ping issue

Series looks good, thanks! Given we're fairly close to merge window and
this has been broken for quite some time, I took this into bpf-next.

Thanks,
Daniel
