net: hsr: generate supervision frame without HSR/PRP tag
For a switch to offload insertion of HSR/PRP tags, frames must not be
sent to the CPU facing switch port with a tag. Generate supervision frames
(eth type ETH_P_PRP) without HSR v1 (ETH_P_HSR)/PRP tag and rely on
create_tagged_frame which inserts it later. This will allow skipping the
tag insertion for all outgoing frames in the future which is required for
HSR v1/PRP tag insertions to be offloaded.
HSR v0 supervision frames always contain tag information so insertion of
the tag can't be offloaded. IEC 62439-3 Ed.2.0 (HSR v1) specifically
notes that this was changed since v0 to allow offloading.
