    [IPROUTE]: Fix classifier help

    The new check whether the user has specified a protocol makes
    "ip filter <type> help" fails with "protocol is required".

    This could be fixed by moving it further down, but a more user-friendly
    way it to simply use ETH_P_ALL as default if nothing is specified.
