Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/4] ipvlan: play well with macvlan device

If a device is already a macvlan port then refuse to use it as
an ipvlan port in the early stage of port creation.

	thost1:~# ip link add link eth0 mvl0 type macvlan
	thost1:~# echo $?
	0
	thost1:~# ip link add link eth0 ipvl0 type ipvlan
	RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy
	thost1:~# echo $?
	2
	thost1:~#
