[PATCH 4.4 16/93] ipvlan: dont deref eth hdr before checking its set

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Mahesh Bandewar <maheshb@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit ad8192767c9f9cf97da57b9ffcea70fb100febef ]

IPvlan in L3 mode discards outbound multicast packets but performs
the check before ensuring the ether-header is set or not. This is
an error that Eric found through code browsing.

Fixes: 2ad7bf363841 (âipvlan: Initial check-in of the IPVLAN driver.â)
