skb_protocol() is bloated, and forces slow stack canaries in many
fast paths.
Add vlan_get_protocol_offset_inline() which deals with the non-vlan
common cases.
__vlan_get_protocol_offset() is now out of line.
It returns a vlan_type_depth struct to avoid stack canaries in callers.
struct vlan_type_depth {
__be16 type;
u16 depth;
};
