Subject: [PATCH net] 8021q: fix mac_len recomputation in vlan_untag()

skb_reset_mac_len() relies on the value of the skb->network_header pointer,
therefore we must wait for such pointer to be recalculated before computing
the new mac_len value.

Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <ordex@...istici.org>

* such bug has been found because in the batman-adv module we do check the value
of mac_len to drop bad packets and we realised that all packets coming from the
untagging procedure (so coming from any eth0.x) were being dropped.

* I'd consider this patch to be submitted to stable

Thanks,
