net: vxlan: Add nolocalbypass option to vxlan.
If a packet needs to be encapsulated towards a local destination IP, the packet will undergo a "local bypass" and be injected into the Rx path as if it was received by the target VXLAN device without undergoing encapsulation. If such a device does not exist, the packet will be dropped. There are scenarios where we do not want to perform such a bypass, but instead want the packet to be encapsulated and locally received by a user space program for post-processing. To that end, add a new VXLAN device attribute that controls whether a "local bypass" is performed or not. Default to performing a bypass to maintain existing behavior.
