[patch 52/59] AF_PACKET: Check device down state before hard header callbacks.

[Chris Wright]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: David S. Miller <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the device is down, invoking the device hard header callbacks
is not legal, so check it early.

Based upon a shaper OOPS report from Frederik Deweerdt.
