pktgen: Allow on loopback device
When pktgen is used to measure the performance of dev_queue_xmit() packet handling in the core, it is preferable to not hand down packets to a low-level Ethernet driver as it would distort the measurements. Allow using pktgen on the loopback device, thus constraining measurements to core code. Signed-off-by: Lukas Wunner <lukas@wunner.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
