Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v3] 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.

v3:  No changes since last time, but previous patch to hold
     prot_hook.dev should fix locking problems with this patch.
