bonding: fix PACKET_ORIGDEV regression

[ Upstream commit 3c963a33 ]

This patch fixes a subtle PACKET_ORIGDEV regression which was a side
effect of fixes introduced by:

6a9e461f bonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also.

... to:

b89f04c6 bonding: deliver link-local packets with skb->dev set to link that packets arrived on

While 6a9e461f restored pre-b89f04c6 presence of link-local
packets on bonding masters (which is required e.g. by linux bridges
participating in spanning tree or needed for lab-like setups created
with group_fwd_mask) it also caused the originating device
information to be lost due to cloning.

Maciej Żenczykowski proposed another solution that doesn't require
packet cloning and retains original device information - instead of
returning RX_HANDLER_PASS for all link-local packets it's now limited
only to packets from inactive slaves.

At the same time, packets passed to bonding masters retain correct
information about the originating device and PACKET_ORIGDEV can be used
to determine it.

This elegantly solves all issues so far:

- link-local packets that were removed from bonding masters
- LLDP daemons being forced to explicitly bind to slave interfaces
- PACKET_ORIGDEV having no effect on bond interfaces

Fixes: 6a9e461f (bonding: pass link-local packets to bonding master also.)

/* Link-local multicast packets should be passed to the

* bond-master device. These packets are mostly usable when
* stack receives it with the link on which they arrive
* (e.g. LLDP) they also must be available on master. Some of
* the use cases include (but are not limited to): LLDP agents
* that must be able to operate both on enslaved interfaces as
* well as on bonds themselves; linux bridges that must be able
* to process/pass BPDUs from attached bonds when any kind of
* STP version is enabled on the network.
/*
* For packets determined by bond_should_deliver_exact_match() call to
* be suppressed we want to make an exception for link-local packets.
* This is necessary for e.g. LLDP daemons to be able to monitor
* inactive slave links without being forced to bind to them
* explicitly.
*
* At the same time, packets that are passed to the bonding master
* (including link-local ones) can have their originating interface
* determined via PACKET_ORIGDEV socket option.
