bpf: Add redirect_peer helper
Add an efficient ingress to ingress netns switch that can be used out of tc BPF programs in order to redirect traffic from host ns ingress into a container veth device ingress without having to go via CPU backlog queue [0]. For local containers this can also be utilized and path via CPU backlog queue only needs to be taken once, not twice. On a high level this borrows from ipvlan which does similar switch in __netif_receive_skb_core() and then iterates via another_round. This helps to reduce latency for mentioned use cases.
