Since skb_iif has the desired value (ifindex of physical device actually
received the traffic) use that instead.

This may "break" the ptype handlers in TX path, as we always assign
skb->dev to origdev there. Thanks.

Changli, would you please point me the relevant code?. Thanks!

I'm probably missign something but I do not see the connection between
this and setting up sll->sll_ifindex in net/packet/af_packet.c

Think about a packet socket(with origdev set) for packets emitted via
NIC eth0, and sll->sll_ifindex is eth0->ifindex, but after your patch,
sll->sll_ifindex may be ZERO or the ifindex of the RX NIC for the
forwarded packets. However, I don't know if this origdev usage is
valid. Thanks.
