Interesting bug.

It probably should, but unfortunately then it would loop back to all normal
protocols (IP, IPv6, ARP etc.) too, which would not be good.

It may be best to change af_packet to always use ptype_all and match
the protocols itself. Alternatively there would need to be a special
case.
