Subject: [PATCH net-next v2] ip_tunnel: allow to inherit from VLAN encapsulated IP frames

The current code allows to inherit the TOS, TTL, DF from the payload
when skb->protocol is ETH_P_IP or ETH_P_IPV6.
However when the payload is VLAN encapsulated (e.g because the tunnel
is of type GRETAP), then this inheriting does not work, because the
visible skb->protocol is of type ETH_P_8021Q.

Add a check on ETH_P_8021Q and subsequently check the payload protocol.

v1 -> v2:
- Add support for ETH_P_8021AD as suggested by Jakub Kicinski.

Maybe it's better to use skb_protocol(skb, true) here instead of open
coding the vlan parsing?

Hi Eyal
I've looked into using skb_protocol(skb, true).
If skip_vlan is set to true, wouldn't it make sense to use vlan_get_protocol(skb) directly?

Since it's inlined i don't think it makes a practical difference.
Personally I'd find it more readable to use skb_protocol() here because
VLANs are the less expected path, and the change is basically to ignore
them.
