core/dev: set pkt_type after eth_type_trans() in dev_forward_skb()

The dev_forward_skb() assignment of pkt_type should be done
after the call to eth_type_trans().

ip-encapsulated packets can be handled by localhost. But skb->pkt_type
can be PACKET_OTHERHOST when packet comes via veth into ip tunnel device.
In that case, the packet is dropped by ip_rcv().
Although this example uses gretap. l2tp-eth also has same issue.
For l2tp-eth case, add dummy device for ip address and ip l2tp command.

netns A |                     root netns                      | netns B
   veth<->veth=bridge=gretap <-loop back-> gretap=bridge=veth<->veth

                                                                pkt_type
                               ip_rcv()<-----------------OTHERHOST
