net: dsa: Keep private info in the skb->cb
Map a DSA structure over the 48-byte control block that will hold skb info on transmit and receive. This is only for use within the DSA processing layer (e.g. communicating between DSA core and tagger) and not for passing info around with other layers such as the master net device. Also add a DSA_SKB_CB_PRIV() macro which retrieves a pointer to the space up to 48 bytes that the DSA structure does not use. This space can be used for drivers to add their own private info. One use is for the PTP timestamping code path. When cloning a skb, annotate the original with a pointer to the clone, which the driver can then find easily and place the timestamp to. This avoids the need of a separate queue to hold clones and a way to match an original to a cloned skb.
