4.6-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Daniel Borkmann <dan...@iogearbox.net>
[ Upstream commit 79c62220d74a4a3f961a2cb7320da09eebf5daf7 ]
Avoid recursions of dev_queue_xmit() to the wrong net device when
frames are unprotected, since at that time skb->dev still points to
our own macsec dev and unlike macsec_encrypt_finish() dev pointer
doesn't get updated to real underlying device.
Fixes: c09440f7dcb3 ("macsec: introduce IEEE 802.1AE driver")
