FWIW there are parts I don't like about this change.

It's just the show_protocol_name() bit, it's designed to always be
out of date.

Nobody is going to look at trace/events/skb.h when they add a new
ETH_P_* value.

We could make some include/linux/eth_protos.def file, that has
lines like:

ETHERNET_PROTOCOL(ETH_P_FOO, N)

then headers that want to instantiate something like the usual
ETH_P_FOO defines or this symbolic printing table define
"ETHERNET_PROTOCOL" to a suitable macro and then include
linux/eth_protos.def to make the expansions.
