  Some network device drivers like Fortville may not fill packet type by
default. Changed the method for detecting packet type from mbuf packet
type to ethernet header MAC type will make sure this example compatible
with all NICs.

Fixes: b84fb4cb88ff ("examples/ip_reassembly: overhaul")

v2:
* fix code style issue

Hi Thomas and Yong,

This patch:

https://patches.dpdk.org/patch/19868/

Fixes an error in the Intel regression tests when backported to the
16.11.x LTS branch, but was never committed to master.
It's marked as superseded, and the error does not appear on master.

Do you remember what other change superseded this patch? I can't
find anything on the mailing list.

Thanks!

Kind regards,
Luca Boccassi

Boccassi,
Packet type is supported in both vector and normal Rx functions of Fortville pmd. So I think this patch was superseded because of it do not fix the real issue.

Thanks,
Marvin
