Good point.  I'll see if this stuff can be simplified further,
but for now, let's go for the obvious fix.

gro: Fix vlan/netpoll check again

Jarek Poplawski pointed out that my previous fix is broken for
VLAN+netpoll as if netpoll is enabled we'd end up in the normal
receive path instead of the VLAN receive path.

This patch fixes it by calling the VLAN receive hook.
