LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE is implicitly assumed in ip(6)_finish_output2,
such that any positive return value from a xmit hook could cause
unexpected continue behavior, despite that related skb may have been
freed. This could be error-prone for future xmit hook ops. One of the
possible errors is to return statuses of dst_output directly.
To make the code safer, redefine LWTUNNEL_XMIT_CONTINUE value to
distinguish from dst_output statuses and check the continue
condition explicitly.
