When sorting a capture by protocol, some RTP packets are shown only as FLIP,
even though the dissection windows shows the RTP tree. This is probably because
dissection is not asked for some packets (why only for some?), and because the
FLIP dissector sees that the tree variable is NULL, it won't call the RTP/RTCP
dissectors, and consequently, they never get a chance to write "RTP" or "RTCP"
into the protocol column.

The attached patch fixes this problem by always calling the subdissectors and
letting them decide that they don't actually have to do any work.

The patch has been fuzz-tested. The capture file used in testing is attached.
