Generic skb_vlan_push/skb_vlan_pop functions don't properly handle the
case where the input skb data pointer does not point at the mac header:

- They're doing push/pop, but fail to properly unwind data back to its
  original location.
  For example, in the skb_vlan_push case, any subsequent
  'skb_push(skb, skb->mac_len)' calls make the skb->data point 4 bytes
  BEFORE start of frame, leading to bogus frames that may be transmitted.

- They update rcsum per the added/removed 4 bytes tag.
  Alas if data is originally after the vlan/eth headers, then these
  bytes were already pulled out of the csum.

OTOH calling skb_vlan_push/skb_vlan_pop with skb->data at mac_header
present no issues.

act_vlan is the only caller to skb_vlan_*() that has skb->data pointing
at network header (upon ingress).
Other calles (ovs, bpf) already adjust skb->data at mac_header.

This patch fixes act_vlan to point to the mac_header prior calling
skb_vlan_*() functions, as other callers do.

This 1/2 patch fixes the problem detailed in [1] for act_vlan,
last known caller of skb_vlan_*() with skb->data not at mac_header.

I think it's a good candidate for -stable; it fixes the observed bug and
it is rather focused.

Subsequent 2/2 patch hermetically seals the future possibility that one
might call skb_vlan_*() with skb->data not at mac_header.

This might go to stable as well, but not strictly required.

Thanks,
Shmulik

Applied and queued up for -stable.
