ipvlan: fix multicast processing

In an IPvlan setup when master is set in loopback mode e.g.

  ethtool -K eth0 set loopback on

  where eth0 is master device for IPvlan setup.

The failure is caused by the faulty logic that determines if the
packet is from TX-path vs. RX-path by just looking at the mac-
addresses on the packet while processing multicast packets.

In the loopback-mode where this crash was happening, the packets
that are sent out are reflected by the NIC and are processed on
the RX path, but mac-address check tricks into thinking this
packet is from TX path and falsely uses dev_forward_skb() to pass
packets to the slave (virtual) devices.

This patch records the path while queueing packets and eliminates
logic of looking at mac-addresses for the same decision.
