Currently, hardware VLAN stripping is broken for 802.1ad tags. vlan_rx_hw()
hardcodes ETH_P_8021Q when putting the hardware tag into the skb, rather
than using the actual protocol from the packet. Because of this, packets
that contain a 802.1ad outer tag are incorrectly passed up the stack as
having an 802.1Q tag. This causes QinQ ping between two hosts to fail.
vlan_rx_hw() is shared by dwxgmac2 and dwmac4: on dwxgmac2 the tag type
is available in the RDES3 write-back descriptor (the ET_LT field), so the
outer tag type can be determined based on that info. However, dwmac4
doesn't seem to provide the tag type. The Length/Type field in RDES3 only
indicates whether the packet is single or double-tagged, not which tag
type was stripped.
Since dwmac4 cannot report the stripped tag type, it cannot support
hardware double VLAN stripping correctly. Disable it by dropping
update_dvlan_state from dwmac_vlan_ops. With this, 802.1ad tags are
left in place and handled by the software VLAN path.
Also, restrict the NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_RX and NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_FILTER
advertisement to dwxgmac2.

v3 changes:
- Rebased after dropping the dma_cap.dvlan patch.
v2 changes:
- Advertised NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_RX and NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_STAG_FILTER only
for XGMAC (reported by Sashiko).
