ips: encapsulated packet logged as dropped, but not actually dropped

Description

We just upgraded from Suricata 6.0.6 setup in IPS with NFQUEUE to Suricata 6.0.8 with the same setup.

We have a drop rule in place (same rule since 6.0.6).

When we initiate traffic from the Suricata instance itself to the site that match the drop rule we get the following (correct) behavior:
  1. fast.log logs the drop entry
  2. The traffic is actually dropped
When we initiate traffic from outside the Suricata (and traffic flows through the Suricata) we see the following behavior:
  1. fast.log logs the drop entry
  2. The traffic is NOT dropped

I wanted to mention that when the traffic is initiated from outside the Suricata; we use geneve encapsulation.
This is on ubuntu 20.04.

After reverting back to 6.0.6, everything works again as expected.

We are seeing the same thing on Amazon Linux 2, GENEVE encapsulated traffic from an AWS Gateway Load Balancer is not dropped even when matched/logged as such on v6.0.8, but it is after downgrading back to v6.0.6.

On v6.0.8 locally initiated traffic is dropped when it matches a drop rule, it's only the GENEVE traffic that isn't.

This is on Amazon Linux 2 using the RPM packages from https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/oisf/suricata-latest/
