On transmit, we are currently relying on skb->dev being set by
mctp_local_output() when we first set up the skb destination fields.
However, forwarded skbs do not use the local_output path, so will retain
their incoming netdev as their ->dev on tx. This does not work when
we're forwarding between interfaces.
Set skb->dev unconditionally in the transmit path, to allow for proper
forwarding.
We keep the skb->dev initialisation in mctp_local_output(), as we use it
for fragmentation.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
