SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 1/2] net: check if protocol extracted by virtio_net_hdr_set_proto is correct

Going forward, please mark your the patch as targeting the net tree
using [PATCH net]

eth is no longer used.

nit: customary to call this protocol. etype, I guess short for
EtherType, makes sense, but is not commonly used in the kernel.
