syzbot reported skb memleak below. [0]

The repro generated a GUE packet with its inner protocol 0.

gue_udp_recv() returns -guehdr->proto_ctype for "resubmit"
in ip_protocol_deliver_rcu(), but this only works with
non-zero protocol number.

Let's drop such packets.

Note that 0 is a valid number (IPv6 Hop-by-Hop Option).

I think it is not practical to encap HOPOPT in GUE, so once
someone starts to complain, we could pass down a resubmit
flag pointer to distinguish two zeros from the upper layer:

  * no error
  * resubmit HOPOPT

[0]
