The shifting of the u16 result from ntohs(proto) by 16 bits to the
left will be promoted to a 32 bit signed int and then sign-extended
to a u64. In the event that the top bit of the return from ntohs(proto)
is set then all then all the upper 32 bits of a 64 bit long end up as
also being set because of the sign-extension. Fix this by casting to
a u64 long before the shift.
Addresses-Coverity: ("Unintended sign extension")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
