Yes that will fix along with dropping vlan pkts on real dev, so some
additional checking for dropping also. In fact that is what I meant in
my last response by "I could also handle this gracefully in fcoe stack
by cloning" as skb_share_check() does that conditionally.  

But as far as this patch goes, are you okay with the fix to not forward
vlan pkt on real dev pkt handler ? I think this is required regardless
of fcoe stack fixing for shared skb since otherwise all upper layers of
real dev pkt handler has to handle with un-expected vlan pkts also.

Thanks for your review.
