This patch fixes up a problem with found with commit
1f3c8804acba841b5573b953f5560d2683d2db0d.  The original change
overloaded null_or_orig, but doing that prevented any packet handlers
that were not tied to a specific device (i.e. ptype->dev == NULL) from
ever receiving any frames.

The null_or_orig variable cannot be overloaded, and must be kept as NULL
to prevent the frame from being ignored by packet handlers designed to
accept frames on any interface.
