Subject: [PATCH v5.10.y 2/3] net: netdevice: Add operation ndo_sk_get_lower_dev

From: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@...dia.com>

[ Upstream commit 719a402cf60311b1cdff3f6320abaecdcc5e46b7]

ndo_sk_get_lower_dev returns the lower netdev that corresponds to
a given socket.
Additionally, we implement a helper netdev_sk_get_lowest_dev() to get
the lowest one in chain.
