switchdev: fix handling for drivers not supporting IPv4 fib add/del ops
If CONFIG_NET_SWITCHDEV is enabled, but port driver does not implement support for IPv4 FIB add/del ops, don't fail route add/del offload operations. Route adds will not be marked as OFFLOAD. Routes will be installed in the kernel FIB, as usual. This was report/fixed by Florian when testing DSA driver with net-next on devices with L2 offload support but no L3 offload support. What he reported was an initial route installed from DHCP client would fail (route not installed to kernel FIB). This was triggering the setting of ipv4.fib_offload_disabled, which would disable route offloading after the first failure. So subsequent attempts to install the route would succeed. There is follow-on work/discussion to address the handling of route install failures, but for now, let's differentiate between no support and failed support.
