udp: fix encapsulation packet resubmit in multicast deliver
When a UDP encapsulation socket (e.g., FOU) receives a multicast
packet, __udp4_lib_mcast_deliver() and __udp6_lib_mcast_deliver()
call consume_skb() when udp_queue_rcv_skb() returns a positive value.
A positive return value from udp_queue_rcv_skb() indicates that the
encap_rcv handler (e.g., fou_udp_recv) has consumed the UDP header
and wants the packet to be resubmitted to the IP protocol handler
for further processing (e.g., as a GRE packet).
The unicast paths handle this correctly by propagating the return
value up to ip_protocol_deliver_rcu() / ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu()
for resubmission. However, the multicast paths destroy the packet
via consume_skb() instead of resubmitting it, causing silent packet
loss.
This affects any UDP encapsulation (FOU, GUE) combined with multicast
destination addresses.
Fix this by returning the value from udp_queue_rcv_skb() when it is
positive, matching the behavior of the corresponding unicast paths.
Note the sign difference between IPv4 and IPv6:
- IPv4: udp_unicast_rcv_skb() returns -ret, and
ip_protocol_deliver_rcu() resubmits when ret < 0
(using -ret as the protocol number).
- IPv6: udp6_unicast_rcv_skb() returns ret, and
ip6_protocol_deliver_rcu() resubmits when ret > 0
(using ret as the nexthdr).
Both mcast paths now follow the same convention as their respective
unicast paths.
