[PATCH 3/4] net: dev_is_mac_header_xmit() return false for ARPHRD_PUREIP

From: Rocco Yue <hidden>

the incoming/outgoing packets on that pure ip interface do
not have an ethernet header. So adding ARPHRD_PUREIP to the
dev_is_mac_header_xmit() make the function return false, and
__bpf_redirect() checks this boolean to determine whether to
prefix an ethernet header.
