Subject: [PATCH] ibmveth: Detect unsupported packets before sending to the
 hypervisor

References: bsc#1159484 ltc#182983
Patch-mainline: v5.5-rc1
Git-commit: 6f2275433a2f4ce5161dbd8a8b24b379d90bc150

Currently, when ibmveth receive a loopback packet, it reports an
ambiguous error message "tx: h_send_logical_lan failed with rc=-4"
because the hypervisor rejects those types of packets. This fix
detects loopback packet and assures the source packet's MAC address
matches the driver's MAC address before transmitting to the
hypervisor.
