datapath: Don't set dev->last_rx on kernels >= 2.6.29.

dev->last_rx is used for rebalancing in Linux bonding.  However,
on a SMP machine it quickly becomes a very hot cacheline.  On
kernels 2.6.29 and later the networking core will update last_rx
only if bonding is in use, so drivers do not need to set it at all.
