libpcap: add upstream patch to fix runtime issue when TPACKET_V3 isn't supported

libpcap would fail to initialize on Linux when compiled against kernel
headers with TPACKET_V3 support but running on kernel without:

"can't get TPACKET_V3 header len on packet socket: Invalid argument"

Subject: [PATCH] fix TPACKET_V3 initialization (GH #329)
libpcap would fail to initialize on Linux when compiled against kernel
headers with TPACKET_V3 support but running on kernel without:
"can't get TPACKET_V3 header len on packet socket: Invalid argument"
Fix init_tpacket() to respect EINVAL because that is what the kernel
returns for unsupported TPACKET versions.
