It looks like if check_mtu=false then this is just an interface up check.
Can we leave is_skb_forwardable logic alone and just change the spots where
this is called with false to something with a name that describes the check,
such as is_dev_up(dev). I think it will make this change smaller and the
code easier to read. Did I miss something?

I guess you will get some duplication here if you have a dev_forward_skb()
and a dev_forward_skb_nocheck() or something. Take it or leave it. I know
I've added my share of bool swivel bits like this, but better to avoid
it if possible IMO.

Other than style aspects it looks correct to me.
