[PATCH 1/2] [VLAN] Don't drop an unclassfied vlan packet as PACKET_OTHERHOST

IMHO linux should not drop unclassified vlan packets to pass these to sniffers. isn't it?
But, since the __vlan_hwaccel_rx drops unclassified vlan packets, sniffers cannot see them.
This make the __vlan_hwaccel_rx receive and process an unclassified vlan packet as a PACKET_OTHERHOST.
Any check, comments will be appreciated.
Thanks.
