Commit 43e665287f ("net-next: dsa: fix flow dissection") added an
ability to override protocol and network offset during flow dissection
for DSA-enabled devices (i.e. controllers shipped as switch CPU ports)
in order to fix skb hashing for RPS on Rx path.
However, skb_hash() and added part of code can be invoked not only on
Rx, but also on Tx path if we have a multi-queued device and:
- kernel is running on UP system or
- XPS is not configured.
The call stack in this two cases will be like: dev_queue_xmit() ->
__dev_queue_xmit() -> netdev_core_pick_tx() -> netdev_pick_tx() ->
skb_tx_hash() -> skb_get_hash().
The problem is that skbs queued for Tx have both network offset and
correct protocol already set up even after inserting a CPU tag by DSA
tagger, so calling tag_ops->flow_dissect() on this path actually only
breaks flow dissection and hashing.
This can be observed by adding debug prints just before and right after
tag_ops->flow_dissect() call to the related block of code:
Before the patch:

[ 16.902705] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
[ 16.906227] Tx: proto: 0x920b, nhoff: 34 /* junk */
After:
Rx path (RPS):
[ 16.520993] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0 /* ETH_P_XDSA */
[ 16.525260] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
[ 16.528808] Rx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 8 /* ETH_P_IP */
[ 15.484807] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0 /* ETH_P_XDSA */
[ 15.490417] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
[ 15.495223] Rx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 8 /* ETH_P_ARP */
[ 17.134621] Rx: proto: 0x00f8, nhoff: 0 /* ETH_P_XDSA */
[ 17.138895] tag_ops->flow_dissect()
[ 17.142388] Rx: proto: 0x8100, nhoff: 8 /* ETH_P_8021Q */
Tx path (UP system):
[ 15.499558] Tx: proto: 0x0800, nhoff: 26 /* ETH_P_IP */
[ 20.664689] Tx: proto: 0x0806, nhoff: 26 /* ETH_P_ARP */
[ 18.565782] Tx: proto: 0x86dd, nhoff: 26 /* ETH_P_IPV6 */
In order to fix that we can add the check 'proto == htons(ETH_P_XDSA)'
to prevent code from calling tag_ops->flow_dissect() on Tx.
I also decided to initialize 'offset' variable so tagger callbacks can
now safely leave it untouched without provoking a chaos.
