Subject: [PATCH] Fix DHCPv4 reply via --bridge-interface alias interface

was inadvertently broken by

      dhcp: set outbound interface via cmsg in unicast reply

        If multiple routes to the same network exist, Linux blindly picks
        the first interface (route) based on destination address, which might not be
        the one we're actually offering leases. Rather than relying on this,
        always set the interface for outgoing unicast DHCP packets.

because in the aliasing case, iface_index is changed from the index of
the interface on which the packet was received, to be the interface
index of the 'bridge' interface (where the DHCP context is expected to
be defined, and so needs to be looked up).

For the cmsg code that the cited commit added, we need the original
iface_index; so this commit saves that off before the aliasing code
can change it, as rcvd_iface_index, and then uses rcvd_iface_index
instead of iface_index for the cmsg code.
