Some switches (for example ar9331) do not provide enough information
about forwarded packets. If the switch decision was made based on IPv4
or IPv6 header, we need to analyze it and set proper flag.

Potentially we can do it in existing rcv path, on other hand we can
avoid part of duplicated work and let the dsa framework set skb header
pointers and then use preprocessed skb one step later withing the rcv_post
call back.

This patch is needed for ar9331 switch.

I don't necessarily disagree with this, perhaps we can even move
Florian's dsa_untag_bridge_pvid() call inside a rcv_post() method
implemented by the DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM_LEGACY, DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM_PREPEND
and DSA_TAG_PROTO_BRCM taggers. Or even better, because Oleksij's
rcv_post is already prototype-compatible with dsa_untag_bridge_pvid, we
can already do:

	.rcv_post = dsa_untag_bridge_pvid,

This should be generally useful for stuff that DSA taggers need to do
which is easiest done after eth_type_trans() was called.
