Re: macvtap performs IP defragmentation, causing MTU problems for virtual machines

["Henrik Lindström" <lindstrom515@gmail.com>]

Had to change "return 0" to "return vif" but other than that your changes
seem to work, even with macvlan defragmentation removed.

I tested it by sending 8K fragmented multicast packets, with 5 macvlans on
the receiving side. I consistently received 6 copies of the packet (1 from the
real interface and 1 per macvlan). While doing this i had my VM running with
a macvtap, and it was receiving fragmented packets as expected.

Here are the changes i was testing with, first time sending a diff over mail
so hope it works :-)
