DSA_SKB_CB is going away:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/netdevbpf/patch/20210427042203.26258-5-yangbo.lu@nxp.com/

Let's either negotiate with Yangbo on keeping it, or make
.ndo_select_queue a bypass towards the tagger, where it can use its own
SKB_CB structure and be more flexible in general (I think I'm leaning
towards the latter).
