Subject: [patch net-next-2.6] net: vlan: goto another_round instead of calling __netif_receive_skb

Now, when vlan tag on untagged in non-accelerated path is stripped from
skb, headers are reset right away. Benefit from that and avoid calling
__netif_receive_skb recursivelly and just use another_round.
