Subject: staging: r8712u: Fix case where ethtype was never obtained and always
 be checked against 0

commit f764cd68d9036498f08fe8834deb6a367b5c2542 upstream.

Zero-initializing ether_type masked that the ether type would never be
obtained for 8021x packets and the comparison against eapol_type
would always fail.
