dev_forward_skb: do not scrub skb mark within the same name space



The goal is to keep the mark during a bpf_redirect(), like it is done for
legacy encapsulation / decapsulation, when there is no x-netns.
This was initially done in commit 213dd74a ("skbuff: Do not scrub skb
mark within the same name space").

When the call to skb_scrub_packet() was added in dev_forward_skb() (commit
8b27f277 ("skb: allow skb_scrub_packet() to be used by tunnels")), the
second argument (xnet) was set to true to force a call to skb_orphan(). At
this time, the mark was always cleanned up by skb_scrub_packet(), whatever
xnet value was.
This call to skb_orphan() was removed later in commit
9c4c3252 ("skbuff: preserve sock reference when scrubbing the skb.").
But this 'true' stayed here without any real reason.

Let's correctly set xnet in ____dev_forward_skb(), this function has access
to the previous interface and to the new interface.
