[LTP] [PATCH] pty04: Avoid receiving packets from all interfaces

[Richard Palethorpe]

Raw sockets receive all packets from all interfaces as soon as they are
created. They don't need to be bound to one or more interfaces like I thought.

This creates the socket with a NULL packet type which appears to be unused in
the Linux kernel and receives no packets. The protocol is then changed to
ETH_P_ALL when binding to the netdevice we are interested in.

I assume it is impossible for a packet to have zero for its packet type. Most
likely using ETH_P_LOOP would have been OK too, but I suppose that is really
used by some hardware.

This also fixes various other problems that have been observed with this
test. Such as memory allocation failures.
