====================
Fix a bug and avoid dangerous usage patterns around DSA_SKB_CB

Making DSA use the sk_buff control block was my idea during the
'Traffic-support-for-SJA1105-DSA-driver' patchset, and I had also
introduced a series of macro helpers that turned out to not be so
helpful:

1. DSA_SKB_ZERO() zeroizes the 48-byte skb->cb area, but due to the high
   performance impact in the hotpath it was only intended to be called
   from the timestamping path. But it turns out that not zeroizing it
   has uncovered the reading of an uninitialized member field of
   DSA_SKB_CB, so in the future just be careful about what needs
   initialization and remove this macro.
2. DSA_SKB_CLONE() contains a flaw in its body definition (originally
   put there to silence checkpatch.pl) and is unusable at this point
   (will only cause NPE's when used). So remove it.
3. For DSA_SKB_COPY() the same performance considerations apply as above
   and therefore it's best to prune this function before it reaches a
   stable kernel and potentially any users.
