Regardless of whether my approach (just posted) will be accepted, this
patch cannot go in: it stops injected packets from showing up on all
monitor interfaces but the one they were injected into. If my
IFF_NO_MIRROR approach is rejected then we'll have to make this a bit
more elaborate by storing the injection device ifindex in the info
instead of just a flag.
