macvlan: Support creating macvlans from macvlans

When running in a network namespace whose only link to
the outside world is a macvlan device, not being
able to create another macvlan is a real pain.

So modify macvlan creation to allow automatically forward
a creation of a macvlan on a macvlan to become a creation
of a macvlan on the underlying network device.
