net-gro: reset skb->pkt_type in napi_reuse_skb()
[ Upstream commit 33d9a2c72f086cbf1087b2fd2d1a15aa9df14a7f ] eth_type_trans() assumes initial value for skb->pkt_type is PACKET_HOST. This is indeed the value right after a fresh skb allocation. However, it is possible that GRO merged a packet with a different value (like PACKET_OTHERHOST in case macvlan is used), so we need to make sure napi->skb will have pkt_type set back to PACKET_HOST. Otherwise, valid packets might be dropped by the stack because their pkt_type is not PACKET_HOST. napi_reuse_skb() was added in commit 96e93eab2033 ("gro: Add internal interfaces for VLAN"), but this bug always has been there.
