l3mdev: add function to retreive upper master
Existing functions to retreive the l3mdev of a device did not walk the
master chain to find the upper master. This patch adds a function to
find the l3mdev, even indirect through e.g. a bridge:
+----------+
| |
| vrf-blue |
| |
+----+-----+
|
|
+----+-----+
| |
| br-blue |
| |
+----+-----+
|
|
+----+-----+
| |
| eth0 |
| |
+----------+
This will properly resolve the l3mdev of eth0 to vrf-blue.
