net: vxlan: Add nolocalbypass option to vxlan.
If a packet needs to be encapsulated towards a local destination IP, the
packet will undergo a "local bypass" and be injected into the Rx path as
if it was received by the target VXLAN device without undergoing
encapsulation. If such a device does not exist, the packet will be
dropped.
There are scenarios where we do not want to perform such a bypass, but
instead want the packet to be encapsulated and locally received by a
user space program for post-processing.
To that end, add a new VXLAN device attribute that controls whether a
"local bypass" is performed or not. Default to performing a bypass to
maintain existing behavior.
