Subject: netfilter: nft_meta: deal with PACKET_LOOPBACK in netdev family

From: Liping Zhang <zlpnobody@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit f169fd695b192dd7b23aff8e69d25a1bc881bbfa ]

After adding the following nft rule, then ping 224.0.0.1:
  # nft add rule netdev t c pkttype host counter

The warning complain message will be printed out again and again:
  WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 10182 at net/netfilter/nft_meta.c:163 \
           nft_meta_get_eval+0x3fe/0x460 [nft_meta]
  [...]
  Call Trace:
  <IRQ>
  dump_stack+0x85/0xc2
  __warn+0xcb/0xf0
  warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20
  nft_meta_get_eval+0x3fe/0x460 [nft_meta]
  nft_do_chain+0xff/0x5e0 [nf_tables]

So we should deal with PACKET_LOOPBACK in netdev family too. For ipv4,
convert it to PACKET_BROADCAST/MULTICAST according to the destination
address's type; For ipv6, convert it to PACKET_MULTICAST directly.
