Subject: [PATCH] Allow fragmentation of VLAN packets traversing a bridge.

br_nf_dev_queue_xmit only checks for ETH_P_IP packets for fragmenting but not
VLAN packets. This results in dropping of large VLAN packets. This can be
observed when connection tracking is enabled. Connection tracking re-assembles
fragmented packets, and these have to be re-fragmented when transmitting out.
