This actually also fixes a regression, back when we used skb_copy_expand
of the old skb, the protocol was properly set, which not only affects
bridges, but also TC classification and packet sockets.

You don't need __constant_htons here however, the compiler is smart
enough to this itself. Please resend and add a note to the changelog
stating that this fixes a regression and I'll toss it into
nf-2.6.git.

Thanks!
