The bt_xmit() function lacks the skb->protocol check for IPv6 packets
that commit 3a5f3f7aff18 ("ieee802154: 6lowpan: only accept IPv6 packets
in lowpan_xmit()") added to the parallel IEEE 802.15.4 path.

A non-IPv6 packet (e.g. ETH_P_AOE) queued on a Bluetooth 6LoWPAN netdev
reaches setup_header(), which unconditionally treats the skb as IPv6 and
reads 16 bytes of uninitialized memory, causing a KMSAN uninit-value bug.

Add the missing protocol check to reject non-IPv6 packets before they
reach setup_header().

Fixes: 3a5f3f7aff18bcc36a57839cf50cf0cc8de707f3 ("ieee802154: 6lowpan: only accept IPv6 packets in lowpan_xmit()")
