OK, it also may be helpful to highlight that prepare_frag() is done
once for an assembled frame, then ovs_vport_output() performs the
inverse for each fragment. I'll do this.

Some of this was me being overly cautious: take a ref on the dev for
as long as the fragment dst exists; take a ref on the original (eg
tunnel_metadata) dst for the length of handling the output of this
frame.

For each fragment, ovs_vport_output() will revert the changes made
here - restoring the original dst. Either way, if we're not taking a
ref on the netdev then this should be fine.
