Description

Add comment for accidentally committed unrelated change in r325960.

Do not invoke IPv4 NAT handler for non IPv4 packets. Libalias expects
a packet is IPv4. And in case when it is IPv6, it just translates them
as IPv4. This leads to corruption and in some cases to panics.
In particular a panic can happen when value of ip6_plen modified to
something that leads to IP fragmentation, but actual packet length does
not match the IP length.

Packets that are not IPv4 will be dropped by NAT rule.
