arp is being checked instead of arp_eth to see if the call to
__skb_header_pointer failed. Fix this by checking arp_eth is
null instead of arp.

CoverityScan CID#1396428 ("Logically dead code") on 2nd
arp comparison (which should be arp_eth instead).

Fixes: commit 55733350e5e8b70c5 ("flow disector: ARP support")

It looks that we try very hard to add critical bugs in flow dissector.

This is embarrassing really.

I am questioning if the __skb_header_pointer() is correct

Why using hlen - sizeof(_arp) ?

               arp_eth = __skb_header_pointer(skb, nhoff + sizeof(_arp),
                                              sizeof(_arp_eth), data,
                                              hlen - sizeof(_arp),
                                              &_arp_eth);

Yep, the sizeof maybe dubious too, I overlooked that one; if somebody
can clarify that then I'll send a V2 if it needs fixing up too.

I am pretty sure we should use hlen instead of (hlen - sizeof(_arp))

A V2 would be nice ;)
