Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/6] netfilter: nft_extdhr: Drop pointless check of tprot_set

From: Phil Sutter <phil@....cc>

Pablo says, tprot_set is only there to detect if tprot was set to
IPPROTO_IP as that evaluates to zero. Therefore, code asserting a
different value in tprot does not need to check tprot_set.
