net/sched: Fix ethx:ingress -> ethy:egress -> ethx:ingress mirred loop

Description
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net/sched: Fix ethx:ingress -> ethy:egress -> ethx:ingress mirred loop

When mirred redirects to ingress (from either ingress or egress) the loop
state from sched_mirred_dev array dev is lost because of 1) the packet
deferral into the backlog and 2) the fact the sched_mirred_dev array is
cleared. In such cases, if there was a loop we won't discover it.

Here's a simple test to reproduce:
ip a add dev port0 10.10.10.11/24

tc qdisc add dev port0 clsact
tc filter add dev port0 egress protocol ip \
prio 10 matchall action mirred ingress redirect dev port1

tc qdisc add dev port1 clsact
tc filter add dev port1 ingress protocol ip \
prio 10 matchall action mirred egress redirect dev port0

ping -c 1 -W0.01 10.10.10.10
