Extend packet socket option PACKET_IGNORE_OUTGOING to fanout groups. The socket option sets ptype.ignore_outgoing, which makes dev_queue_xmit_nit skip the socket. When the socket joins a fanout group, the option is not reflected in the struct ptype of the group. dev_queue_xmit_nit only tests the fanout ptype, so the flag is ignored once a socket joins a fanout group. Inheriting the option from a socket would change established behavior. Different sockets in the group can set different flags, and can also change them at runtime. Testing in packet_rcv_fanout defeats the purpose of the original patch, which is to avoid skb_clone in dev_queue_xmit_nit (esp. for MSG_ZEROCOPY packets). Instead, introduce a new fanout group flag with the same behavior.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
