From: Mahesh Bandewar <mahe...@google.com>
This patch adds a l3_dev pointer and a helper function to retrieve
that. During ingress L3 packet processing, this device will be used
instead of skb->dev. Since l3_dev is initialized to self; l3_dev
should be pointing to skb->dev so the normal packet processing is
neither altered nor should incur any additional cost (as it resides
in the RX cache line).
