macsec: Don't rely solely on the dst MAC address to identify destination MACsec device



Offloading device drivers will mark offloaded MACsec SKBs with the
corresponding SCI in the skb_metadata_dst so the macsec rx handler will
know to which interface to divert those skbs, in case of a marked skb
and a mismatch on the dst MAC address, divert the skb to the macsec
net_device where the macsec rx_handler will be called to consider cases
where relying solely on the dst MAC address is insufficient.

One such instance is when using MACsec with a VLAN as an inner
header, where the packet structure is ETHERNET | SECTAG | VLAN.
In such a scenario, the dst MAC address in the ethernet header
will correspond to the VLAN MAC address, resulting in a mismatch.
