Subject: [RFC net-next v2 2/8] net: add netif_is_geneve()

Add a helper function to determine if the type of a netdev is geneve based
on its rtnl_link_ops. This allows drivers that may wish to ofload tunnels
to check the underlying type of the device.

A recent patch added a similar helper to vxlan.h
