I managed to trigger this warning as well the other day, but from a
different call path:

Problem is the synthesized skb for output route resolution does not have
skb->dev or skb->sk set. When a multipath route is hit and
net.ipv4.fib_multipath_hash_policy is set the flow dissector is called
with this skb and the warning is triggered.

I plan to fix it by setting skb->dev to net->loopback_dev. I assume we
want to keep this warning to prevent call paths which will otherwise
silently fallback to standard flow dissector instead of the BPF one.

I'm not familiar with tap code, so someone else will need to patch this
case, but it looks like:

tap_sendmsg()
    tap_get_user()
        skb_probe_transport_header()
	    skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys_basic()
	        __skb_flow_dissect()

skb->dev is only set later in the code.
