    net: dev: use kfree_skb_reason() for __netif_receive_skb_core()
    
    Add reason for skb drops to __netif_receive_skb_core() when packet_type
    not found to handle the skb. For this purpose, the drop reason
    SKB_DROP_REASON_PTYPE_ABSENT is introduced. Take ether packets for
    example, this case mainly happens when L3 protocol is not supported.
