  Maintain a count of skip_sw filters.

This counter is protected by the cb_lock, and is updated
at the same time as offloadcnt.

It is not acceptable since there are valid use-cases where packets need
to match sw filters that are supposedly also in-hw. For example, filters
with tunnel_key set action during neighbor update event.
