Frames can be directly injected to a can driver via the packet socket. By doing that, it is possible to reach the net_device_ops::ndo_start_xmit function even if the driver is configure in listen only mode. Add a check in can_dropped_invalid_skb() and to discard the skb if CAN_CTRLMODE_LISTENONLY is set.
