Move device filtering to the kernel, thereby reducing netlink traffic.
The first patch request kernel-side filtering.
The second patch removes the old filtering code, as an
additional step, which breaks on earlier than Linux v4.6.
I assume that a dependency on Linux v4.6+ is acceptable for wg-tools
now, as wireguard-linux-compat haven't been updated for 3 years.
