Subject: macvlan: Support creating macvtaps from macvlans
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d70f2cf520cf8c86c6b467fc5dcea524ec51dc2f;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

macvlan: Support creating macvtaps from macvlans

When running in a network namespace whose only link to the outside
world is a macvlan device, not being able to create a macvtap off of
it is a real pain.

So modify macvtap creation to automatically forward a creation of a
macvtap on a macvlan to become a creation of a macvtap on the
underlying network device, just like is currently done with
macvlan-on-macvlan devices.

v2: Use netif_is_macvlan and macvlan_dev_real_dev helpers to make it
    more clear what we're doing.
