Subject: [PATCH net] net: Clear local_df only if crossing namespace.

Commit 239c78db9c41a8 (net: clear local_df when passing skb between
namespaces) clears local_df unconditionally.  But upper layer should
be able request local fragmentation within a namespace.  Currently
OVS sets local_df for tunnel packets and then skb_scrub_packe()
resets it which is not correct.

Therefore following patch resets local_df only packet is crossing
namespace.
