net: don't touch dev->stats in BPF redirect paths
Gal reports that BPF redirect increments dev->stats.tx_errors
on failure. This is not correct, most modern drivers completely
ignore dev->stats so these drops will be invisible to the user.
Core code should use the dedicated core stats which are folded
into device stats in dev_get_stats().
Note that we're switching from tx_errors to tx_dropped.
Core only has tx_dropped, hence presumably users already expect
that counter to increment for "stack" Tx issues.
