0436ad9e78 drivers: net: loopback: Simulate real hw device
Instead of passing net_pkt as is to the receiving side of the
interface, clone the sent packet and drop the sent one.
This is needed mainly in TCP where passing the same packet from
sending to receiving side is causing havoc.

Loopback is a networking interface which doesn't actually transfer
any data via link layer externally, and instead just mirrors back
(i.e. any packet send to the loopback interface will be received from
it). This interface very useful for testing.
