[ Upstream commit 259bdba27e32368b4404f69d613b1c1014c07cbf ]
The vxcan driver provides a pair of virtual CAN interfaces to exchange CAN traffic between different namespaces - analogue to veth.
In opposite to the vcan driver the local sent CAN traffic on this interface is not echo'ed back but only sent to the remote peer. This is unusual and can be easily fixed by removing IFF_ECHO from the netdevice flags that are set for vxcan interfaces by default at startup.
Without IFF_ECHO set on driver level, the local sent CAN frames are echo'ed in af_can.c in can_send(). This patch makes vxcan interfaces adopt the same local echo behavior and procedures as known from the vcan interfaces.
