packet: infer protocol from ethernet header if unset 

In case no struct sockaddr_ll has been passed to packet
socket's sendmsg() when doing a TX_RING flush run, then
skb->protocol is set to po->num instead, which is the protocol
passed via socket(2)/bind(2).

Applications only xmitting can go the path of allocating the
socket as socket(PF_PACKET, <mode>, 0) and do a bind(2) on the
TX_RING with sll_protocol of 0. That way, register_prot_hook()
is neither called on creation nor on bind time, which saves
cycles when there's no interest in capturing anyway.

That leaves us however with po->num 0 instead and therefore
the TX_RING flush run sets skb->protocol to 0 as well. Eric
reported that this leads to problems when using tools like
trafgen over bonding device. I.e. the bonding's hash function
could invoke the kernel's flow dissector, which depends on
skb->protocol being properly set. In the current situation, all
the traffic is then directed to a single slave.

Fix it up by inferring skb->protocol from the Ethernet header
when not set and we have ARPHRD_ETHER device type. This is only
done in case of SOCK_RAW and where we have a dev->hard_header_len
length. In case of ARPHRD_ETHER devices, this is guaranteed to
cover ETH_HLEN, and therefore being accessed on the skb after
the skb_store_bits().
