[PATCH] macvlan: Skip loopback packets in RX handler

[PATCH] macvlan: Skip loopback packets in RX handler

[Alexander A Sverdlin]

From: Alexander Sverdlin <alexander.sverdlin@nokia.com>

Ignore loopback-originatig packets soon enough and don't try to process L2
header where it doesn't exist. The very similar br_handle_frame() in bridge
code performs exactly the same check.

This is an example of such ICMPv6 packet:

skb len=96 headroom=40 headlen=96 tailroom=56
mac=(40,0) net=(40,40) trans=80
shinfo(txflags=0 nr_frags=0 gso(size=0 type=0 segs=0))
csum(0xae2e9a2f ip_summed=1 complete_sw=0 valid=0 level=0)
hash(0xc97ebd88 sw=1 l4=1) proto=0x86dd pkttype=5 iif=24

Applied to net-next, thanks.
