From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@xxxxxxxxxxx>
Add reason for skb drops to __netif_receive_skb_core() when packet_type
not found to handle the skb. For this purpose, the drop reason
SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT is introduced. Take ether packets for
example, this case mainly happens when L3 protocol is not supported.
