This worries me a bit, as I wrote this patch because you reported the
issue.

    macvlan: handle fragmented multicast frames
    
    Fragmented multicast frames are delivered to a single macvlan port,
    because ip defrag logic considers other samples are redundant.
    
    Implement a defrag step before trying to send the multicast frame.
