I finally found time to bisect this:

53d6471cef17262d3ad1c7ce8982a234244f68ec is the first bad commit
commit 53d6471cef17262d3ad1c7ce8982a234244f68ec

    net: Account for all vlan headers in skb_mac_gso_segment

    skb_network_protocol() already accounts for multiple vlan
    headers that may be present in the skb.  However, skb_mac_gso_segment()
    doesn't know anything about it and assumes that skb->mac_len
    is set correctly to skip all mac headers.  That may not
    always be the case.  If we are simply forwarding the packet (via
    bridge or macvtap), all vlan headers may not be accounted for.

    A simple solution is to allow skb_network_protocol to return
    the vlan depth it has calculated.  This way skb_mac_gso_segment
    will correctly skip all mac headers.
