tipc: add loopback device tracking
Since node internal messages are passed directly to the socket, it is not possible to observe those messages via tcpdump or wireshark. We now remedy this by making it possible to clone such messages and send the clones to the loopback interface. The clones are dropped at reception and have no functional role except making the traffic visible. The feature is enabled if network taps are active for the loopback device. pcap filtering restrictions require the messages to be presented to the receiving side of the loopback device. v3 - Function dev_nit_active used to check for network taps. - Procedure netif_rx_ni used to send cloned messages to loopback device.
