[NET]: Kill skb->real_dev
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond()
decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original
device into packet_type->func() as an argument.
It remains to be seen whether we can use this same
exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem at davemloft.net>
it looks like the networking stack now passes the real device into
packet_type.func as orig_dev, rather than having the function look at
skb->real_dev.
