[PATCH] vxlan: allow a user to set TTL value

From: Vincent Bernat <hidden>
Date: 2012-10-30 20:53:00 

"ip link add ... type vxlan ... ttl X" allows a user to set the TTL
used by a VXLAN for encapsulation. The provided value was ignored by
vxlan module and the default value of 1 was used when encapsulating
multicast packets.
