Based on the discussion in [0], update the bpf_redirect_neigh() helper to
accept an optional parameter specifying the nexthop information. This makes
it possible to combine bpf_fib_lookup() and bpf_redirect_neigh() without
incurring a duplicate FIB lookup - since the FIB lookup helper will return
the nexthop information even if no neighbour is present, this can simply be
passed on to bpf_redirect_neigh() if bpf_fib_lookup() returns
BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NO_NEIGH.

Looks good to me, thanks! I'll wait till David gets a chance as well to review.
One thing that would have made sense to me (probably worth a v2) is to keep the
fib lookup flag you had back then, meaning sth like BPF_FIB_SKIP_NEIGH which
would then return a BPF_FIB_LKUP_RET_NO_NEIGH before doing the neigh lookup inside
the bpf_ipv{4,6}_fib_lookup() so that programs can just unconditionally use the
combination of bpf_fib_lookup(skb, [...], BPF_FIB_SKIP_NEIGH) with the
bpf_redirect_neigh([...]) extension in that case and not do this bpf_redirect()
vs bpf_redirect_neigh() dance as you have in the selftest in patch 2/2.

Thanks,
Daniel
