selftests: forwarding: mirror_gre_*: Use port MAC for bridge address

In a future patch, mlxsw will start adding RIFs to uppers of front panel
port netdevices, if they have an IP address.

At the time that the front panel port is enslaved to the bridge, the bridge
MAC address does not have the same prefix as other interfaces in the
system. On Nvidia Spectrum-1 machines all the RIFs have to have the same
38-bit MAC address prefix. Since the bridge does not obey this limitation,
the RIF cannot be created, and the enslavement attempt is vetoed on the
grounds of the configuration not being offloadable.

The bridge eventually inherits MAC address from its first member, after the
enslavement is acked. A number of (mainly VXLAN) selftests already work
around the problem by setting the MAC address to whatever it will
eventually be anyway. Do the same for several mirror_gre selftests.

selftests: mirror_gre_bridge_1q_lag: Enslave port to bridge before other configurations

Using mlxsw driver, the configurations are offloaded just in case that
there is a physical port which is enslaved to the virtual device
(e.g., to a bridge). In 'mirror_gre_bridge_1q_lag' test, the bridge gets an
address and route before there are ports in the bridge. It means that these
configurations are not offloaded.

Till now the test passes with mlxsw driver even that the RIF of the
bridge is not in the hardware, because the ARP packets are trapped in
layer 2 and also mirrored, so there is no real need of the RIF in hardware.
The previous patch changed the traps 'ARP_REQUEST' and 'ARP_RESPONSE' to
be done at layer 3 instead of layer 2. With this change the ARP packets are
not trapped during the test, as the RIF is not in the hardware because of
the order of configurations.

Reorder the configurations to make them to be offloaded, then the test will
pass with the change of the traps.

selftests: forwarding: mirror_gre_bridge_1q_lag: Ignore ARP

This test sets up mirroring such that it mirrors all overlay traffic.
That includes ARP, which causes occasional miscounts and spurious
failures. Ignore ARP explicitly to avoid these problems.

selftests: forwarding: mirror_gre_bridge_1q_lag: Enable forwarding

This test relies on routing in the primary traffic path, but neglects to
enable forwarding. Do so.

selftests: forwarding: mirror_gre_bridge_1q_lag: Flush neighbors

After one LAG slave is downed and another upped, it takes a while for
the neighbor on a bridge to time out and get renegotiated. The test does
prompt update of FDB entries by arpinging. But because the neighbor
still references another address, offloading is not possible, and some
packets may end up not being mirrored.

To force the neighbor renegotiation, simply flush the neighbor table at
the bridge.

selftests: forwarding: Test mirror-to-gretap w/ UL team

Test for "tc action mirred egress mirror" that mirrors to gretap when
the underlay route points at a VLAN-aware bridge (802.1q), and the
traffic egresses the bridge through a team device. Test upping and
downing individual team device slaves and verify the traffic flows as
expected.
