net: airoha: ppe: Do not invalid PPE entries in case of SW hash collision



SW hash computed by airoha_ppe_foe_get_entry_hash routine (used for
foe_flow hlist) can theoretically produce collisions between two
different HW PPE entries.
In airoha_ppe_foe_insert_entry() if the collision occurs we will mark
the second PPE entry in the list as stale (setting the hw hash to 0xffff).
Stale entries are no more updated in airoha_ppe_foe_flow_entry_update
routine and so they are removed by Netfilter.
Fix the problem not marking the second entry as stale in
airoha_ppe_foe_insert_entry routine if we have already inserted the
brand new entry in the PPE table and let Netfilter remove real stale
entries according to their timestamp.
Please note this is just a theoretical issue spotted reviewing the code
and not faced running the system.
