Add userspace support for the [no]localbypass vxlan netlink
attribute. With localbypass on (default), the vxlan driver processes
the packets destined to the local machine by itself, bypassing the
userspace nework stack. With nolocalbypass the packets are always
forwarded to the userspace network stack, so userspace programs,
such as tcpdump have a chance to process them.

v7=>v8: fix indentation. Make sure patch applies in iproute2-next.
