In vxlan_core, if an fdb entry is pointing to a local
address with some port, the system tries to get the packet to
deliver the packet to the vxlan directly, bypassing the network
stack.

This patch makes it still try canonical delivery, if there is no
linux kernel vxlan listening on this port. This will be useful
for the cases when there is some userspace daemon expecting
vxlan packets for post-processing, or some other implementation
of vxlan.
