Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] 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 offload tunnels
to check the underlying type of the device.

A recent patch added a similar helper to vxlan.h
