I can't use the existing kernel implementations because there aren't
any that support the 12-bit length of the VLAN VID (lengths are all
at the byte level). I created this function (back when I added VLAN
filtering support in 2014 - it's only being moved in this patch)
because of this 12-bit length.

I do use the kernel functions in other areas, I just can't use them
here.

Thanks,
Tom
