Hi Yan Zhai,

Near the top of packet_rcv,
immediately after local variable declarations, and
before sk is initialised is the following:

	if (skb->pkt_type == PACKET_LOOPBACK)
		goto drop;

So sk may be used uninitialised here.

Similarly in tpacket_rcv()

Flagged by clang-18 W=1 allmodconfig builds on x86_64.
