Broadcom switches locally terminate link local traffic and do not
forward it, so we should not mark it as offloaded.

In some situations we still want/need to flood this traffic, e.g. if STP
is disabled, or it is explicitly enabled via the group_fwd_mask. But if
the skb is marked as offloaded, the kernel will assume this was already
done in hardware, and the packets never reach other bridge ports.

So ensure that link local traffic is never marked as offloaded, so that
the kernel can forward/flood these packets in software if needed.

Since the local termination in not configurable, check the destination
MAC, and never mark packets as offloaded if it is a link local ether
address.

While modern switches set the tag reason code to BRCM_EG_RC_PROT_TERM
for trapped link local traffic, they also set it for link local traffic
that is flooded (01:80:c2:00:00:10 to 01:80:c2:00:00:2f), so we cannot
use it and need to look at the destination address for them as well.
