Bonding driver changes the skb->dev to the bonding-master before
passing the packet to stack for further processing. This, however
does not make sense for the link-local packets and it loses "the
link info" once its skb->dev is changed to bonding-master.  This
patch changes this behavior for link-local packets by not changing
the skb->dev to the bonding-master and maintaining it as it is,
i.e. the link on which the packet arrived.
