Hi,

Since the call to dev_parse_header_protocol is only made for gso
packets where skb->protocol is not set, we could move
skb_reset_mac_header down closer to that call. Is there another reason
to reset mac_header earlier (and affect handling of other packets as
well)? In any case, thanks for spotting this!
