ipvlan: Introduce l3s mode



In a typical IPvlan L3 setup where master is in default-ns and
each slave is into different (slave) ns. In this setup egress
packet processing for traffic originating from slave-ns will
hit all NF_HOOKs in slave-ns as well as default-ns. However same
is not true for ingress processing. All these NF_HOOKs are
hit only in the slave-ns skipping them in the default-ns.
IPvlan in L3 mode is restrictive and if admins want to deploy
iptables rules in default-ns, this asymmetric data path makes it
impossible to do so.

This patch makes use of the l3_rcv() (added as part of l3mdev
enhancements) to perform input route lookup on RX packets without
changing the skb->dev and then uses nf_hook at NF_INET_LOCAL_IN
to change the skb->dev just before handing over skb to L4.
