This is only intended to be used in the case where the IP proto is not TCP:

                        BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_B   + BPF_ABS, ipproto_off),
+                       BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP + BPF_JEQ + BPF_K, IPPROTO_TCP, 2, 0),
+                       BPF_STMT(BPF_LD  + BPF_B   + BPF_ABS, opt_ipproto_off),
                        BPF_JUMP(BPF_JMP + BPF_JEQ + BPF_K, IPPROTO_TCP, 0, 5),

In that case the test tries again at a different offset that accounts
for optional IPv6 extension headers.

This is indeed buggy, in that it might accidentally accept packets
that should be dropped.

Initializing to 0 compares against against the first byte of the
Ethernet header. Which is an external argument to the test. So
safest is to initialize opt_ipproto_off to ipproto_off and just
repeat the previous check. Perhaps:
