Subject: [041/145] net: bug fix for vlan + gro issue

2.6.32-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

----------------
From: Ajit Khaparde <ajitk@...verengines.com>

[ Upstream commit e76b69cc0133952c98aa1ad6330cacacd269fd64 ]

Traffic (tcp) doesnot start on a vlan interface when gro is enabled.
Even the tcp handshake was not taking place.
This is because, the eth_type_trans call before the netif_receive_skb
in napi_gro_finish() resets the skb->dev to napi->dev from the previously
set vlan netdev interface. This causes the ip_route_input to drop the
incoming packet considering it as a packet coming from a martian source.

I could repro this on 2.6.32.7 (stable) and 2.6.33-rc7.
With this fix, the traffic starts and the test runs fine on both vlan
and non-vlan interfaces.
