Subject: [PATCH 1/2 v2] af-packet:  Use existing netdev reference for bound sockets.

From: Ben Greear <greearb@...delatech.com>

This saves a network device lookup on each packet transmitted,
for sockets that are bound to a network device.

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@...delatech.com>
---

v2:  Remove un-used ifindex, lookup dev in else branch.
