macvtap: Add support of packet capture on macvtap device.

Browse Source 
Macvtap device currently doesn not allow a user to capture
traffic on due to the fact that it steals the packets
from the network stack before the skb->dev is set correctly
on the receive side, and that use uses macvlan transmit
path directly on the send side.  As a result, we never
get a change to give traffic to the taps while the correct
device is set in the skb.

This patch makes macvtap device behave almost exaclty like
macvlan.  On the send side, we switch to using dev_queue_xmit().
On the receive side, to deliver packets to macvtap, we now
use netif_rx and dev_forward_skb just like macvlan.  The only
differnce now is that macvtap has its own rx_handler which is
attached to the macvtap netdev.  It is here that we now steal
the packet and provide it to the socket.

As a result, we can now capture traffic on the macvtap device:
   tcpdump -i macvtap0

It also gives us the abilit to add tc actions to the macvtap
device and actually utilize different bandwidth management
queues on output.
