net: mctp: unconditionally set skb->dev on dst output
On transmit, we are currently relying on skb->dev being set by
mctp_local_output() when we first set up the skb destination fields.
However, forwarded skbs do not use the local_output path, so will retain
their incoming netdev as their ->dev on tx. This does not work when
we're forwarding between interfaces.
Set skb->dev unconditionally in the transmit path, to allow for proper
forwarding.
We keep the skb->dev initialisation in mctp_local_output(), as we use it
for fragmentation.
Fixes: 269936db5eb3 ("net: mctp: separate routing database from routing operations")
