The documentation states that skb->encapsulation is automatically
cleared when all tunnel-specific GSO flags have been removed. Does the
implementation in bpf_skb_net_shrink() handle non-GSO packets correctly?

In v5 review, Martin KaFai Lau noted that the GSO flag clearing logic
is only executed inside the if (skb_is_gso(skb)) block in
bpf_skb_net_shrink(). This means non-GSO packets bypass decapsulation
state clearing. When a non-GSO packet undergoes decapsulation with
tunnel headers stripped but skb->encapsulation remains set, downstream
network stack components may misinterpret the packet as still being
encapsulated.

Note that bpf_skb_net_grow() sets encapsulation regardless of
skb_is_gso, which suggests non-GSO packets can have encapsulation set.

This concern has been raised multiple times by reviewers but has not
been addressed in the current version.
