In br_dev_xmit() we perform vlan filtering in br_allowed_ingress() but
if the packet has the vlan header inside (e.g. bridge with disabled
tx-vlan-offload) then the vlan filtering code will use skb_vlan_untag()
to extract the vid before filtering which in turn calls pskb_may_pull()
and we may end up with a stale eth pointer. Moreover the cached eth header
pointer will generally be wrong after that operation. Remove the eth header
caching and just use eth_hdr() directly, the compiler does the right thing
and calculates it only once so we don't lose anything.

Funny but this might turn out to be a totally unrelated bug to the one reported by syzbot.
I just noticed it's saying uninit instead of use-after-free. I'm now building the
whole syz environment mentioned in the report to check it out.
That being said - the bug that I'm fixing here exists, we just might have to drop the
Reported-by: tag if it turns out the uninit bug is a different one. :)

I'll report back when I'm able to reproduce the syz uninit bug.
