net/packet: Remove redundant skb->protocol set

c72219b introduced tpacket_set_protocol that parses the Ethernet L2 header and sets skb->protocol if it's unset. It is no longer needed since the introduction of packet_parse_headers. In case of SOCK_RAW and unset skb->protocol, packet_parse_headers asks the driver to tell the protocol number, and it's implemented for all Ethernet devices. As the old function supported only Ethernet, no functionality is lost. Signed-off-by: Maxim Mikityanskiy <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <[email protected]>
