This patch allows copying the DSCP from inner IPv4 header to the
outer IPv6 header, when doing SRv6 Encapsulation.
This allows forwarding packet across the SRv6 fabric based on their
original traffic class.

"Allows" sounds like the behavior is optional, but that is not what
is happening here. You are making this DSCP inheritance behavior
unconditional.
I've stated that the current behavior matches what other ipv6
tunneling devices do, and therefore we should keep it that way.
Furthermore, this behavior has been in place for several releases
so you cannot change it by default. People may be depending upon
how things work right now.

Need to preserve reverse christmas tree here.

Ok. I added a new sysctl (seg6_inherit_inner_ipv4_dscp) to
enable/disable the new behavior.
The sysctl will be checked in case of IPv4 traffic.
In the IPv6 case, there is no change as the code is already copying the
DSCP from the inner IPv6 packet.
I'm sending a new patch.

Fixed in the new patch.
