Lets change it to "if (mac_proto == MAC_PROTO_ETHERNET)"

I was think case of action list: PUSH_MPLS_L2, PUSH_MPLS_L3, ....,
POP_MPLS_L2, POP_MPLS_L2
This action will pass the validation. It would also work fine in
datapath since POP action can detect L2 and L3 packet dynamically. But
it is inconsistent with actions intention.
