ipvlan: fix multicast processing
In an IPvlan setup when master is set in loopback mode e.g. ethtool -K eth0 set loopback on where eth0 is master device for IPvlan setup. The failure is caused by the faulty logic that determines if the packet is from TX-path vs. RX-path by just looking at the mac- addresses on the packet while processing multicast packets. In the loopback-mode where this crash was happening, the packets that are sent out are reflected by the NIC and are processed on the RX path, but mac-address check tricks into thinking this packet is from TX path and falsely uses dev_forward_skb() to pass packets to the slave (virtual) devices. This patch records the path while queueing packets and eliminates logic of looking at mac-addresses for the same decision. ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at include/linux/skbuff.h:1737!
