Subject: [PATCH net-next v5 2/4] net: skb: rename SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT

From: Menglong Dong <imagedong@...cent.com>

As David Ahern suggested, the reasons for skb drops should be more
general and not be code based.

Therefore, rename SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT to
SKB_DROP_REASON_UNHANDLED_PROTO, which is used for the cases of no
L3 protocol handler, no L4 protocol handler, version extensions, etc.

>From previous discussion, now we have the aim to make these reasons
more abstract and users based, avoiding code based.
