Well, when building I found that we obviously cannot call
netif_rx_internal() as this is filter.c, else we get a build error:

net/core/filter.c:2091:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘netif_rx_internal’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 2091 |   ret = netif_rx_internal(skb);
      |         ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
