Subject: [PATCH] net: pktgen: disable xmit_clone on virtual devices

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Trying to use burst capability (aka xmit_more) on a virtual device
like bonding is not supported.

For example, skb might be queued multiple times on a qdisc, with
various list corruptions.

Fixes: 38b2cf2982dc ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
