Subject[PATCH 3.16 26/55] macvlan: allow to enqueue broadcast pkt on virtual device
Date
3.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Nicolas Dichtel <nicolas.dichtel@6wind.com>

[ Upstream commit 07d92d5cc977a7fe1e683e1d4a6f723f7f2778cb ]

Since commit 412ca1550cbe ("macvlan: Move broadcasts into a work queue"), the
driver uses tx_queue_len of the master device as the limit of packets enqueuing.
Problem is that virtual drivers have this value set to 0, thus all broadcast
packets were rejected.
Because tx_queue_len was arbitrarily chosen, I replace it with a static limit
of 1000 (also arbitrarily chosen).
