Subject: [PATCH net] net: skbuff: Fix incorrect skb->mac_len adjustment in skb_vlan_push()

In case 'skb_vlan_push' is called on an skb with a hw-accel vlan tag
already present, the existing hw-accel tag is inserted into payload, and
the new given tag is placed as new hw-accel tag.

After the insertion:
 - 'mac_header' is adjusted to point to the new start of the vlan_ethhdr
 - 'data' is adjusted to point to the vlan_hdr portion
   (since packet's payload is the inner 802.1q)

However, 'mac_len' is incorrectly incremented with additional VLAN_HLEN
bytes, resulting in a total value of 18 bytes.

Meaning, when issuing 'skb_push(skb, skb->mac_len)' the data points
to random content, 4 bytes PRIOR the ethhdr location.

This is problematic, as many constructs in the stack are issuing
'skb_push(skb, skb->mac_len)' prior xmit to a device (e.g tcf_mirred,
tcf_bpf, nf_dup_netdev_egress), resulting in bogus frames being
xmitted (having random 4 bytes at start of frame).

For example:

 # ip l add dev d0 type dummy
 # tc filter add dev eth0 parent ffff: pref 1 basic \
     action vlan push protocol 802.1ad id 5 pipe \
     action mirred egress redirect dev d0

Any 802.1q (hw-accel) tagged frames arriving on eth0 are xmitted as
bogus frames on d0; whereas the expected behavior is having QinQ frames.

Fix, removing the unnecessary VLAN_HLEN adjustment of mac_len.

 - David, if patch ok, suggest this goes to -stable

 - Pravin, original push_vlan() code in openvswitch/actions.c prior Jiri
   has moved it into skbuff.c had the following comment:
        /* Update mac_len for subsequent MPLS actions */
        skb->mac_len += VLAN_HLEN;
   Can you please acknowlegde OvS code is also ok with suggested change?
