vlan: Add function to retrieve EtherType from vlan packets.
Depending on how a packet is vlan tagged (i.e. hardware accelerated or not), the encapsulated protocol is stored in different locations. This provides a consistent method of accessing that protocol, which is needed by drivers, security checks, etc. Signed-off-by: Hao Zheng <hzheng@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
