net/sched: cls_flower: Remove match on n_proto

The following flower filters fail to match packets:

tc filter add dev eth0 ingress protocol 0x8864 flower \
	action simple sdata hi64
tc filter add dev eth0 ingress protocol 802.1q flower \
	vlan_ethtype 0x8864 action simple sdata "hi vlan"

The protocol 0x8864 (ETH_P_PPP_SES) is a tunnel protocol. As such, it is
being dissected by __skb_flow_dissect and it's internal protocol is
being set as key->basic.n_proto. IOW, the existence of ETH_P_PPP_SES
tunnel is transparent to the callers of __skb_flow_dissect.

OTOH, in the filters above, cls_flower configures its key->basic.n_proto
to the ETH_P_PPP_SES value configured by the user. Matching on this key
fails because of __skb_flow_dissect "transparency" mentioned above.

In the following, I would argue that the problem lies with cls_flower,
unnessary attempting key->basic.n_proto match.

There are 3 close places in fl_set_key in cls_flower setting up
mask->basic.n_proto. They are (in reverse order of appearance in the
code) due to:

(a) No vlan is given: use TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ETH_TYPE parameter
(b) One vlan tag is given: use TCA_FLOWER_KEY_VLAN_ETH_TYPE
(c) Two vlans are given: use TCA_FLOWER_KEY_CVLAN_ETH_TYPE

The match in case (a) is unneeded because flower has no its own
eth_type parameter. It was removed by Jamal Hadi Salim in commit
488b41d020fb06428b90289f70a41210718f52b7 in iproute2. For
TCA_FLOWER_KEY_ETH_TYPE the userspace uses the generic tc filter
protocol field. Therefore the match for the case (a) is done by tc
itself.

The matches in cases (b), (c) are unneeded because the protocol will
appear in and will be matched by flow_dissector_key_vlan.vlan_tpid.
Therefore in the best case, key->basic.n_proto will try to repeat vlan
key match again.

The below patch removes mask->basic.n_proto setting and resets it to 0
in case (c).
