[Bug 2085018] [NEW] Commit "net/mlx5e: Don't offload internal port if filter device is out device" breaks OpenStack/OVN distributed gateway use case

Public bug reported:

Consider a topology with two chassis, A and B:
* A acts as a distributed gateway connected to provider network on tagged VLAN and has GENEVE tunnel configured towards chassis B.
* B hosts the target instance.
* From a third machine connected to the provider network we can observe:
* Only first ICMP ECHO reply from target instance is forwarded.
* Attempt to establish TCP connection fails.

If we revert commit [0] the symptoms disappear.
