When the packet has its vlan tag in skb->vlan_tci, the length of the VLAN
header is not counted in skb->len. It doesn't make sense to subtract it.

In addition, to honor the comment below the code, the VLAN header length
should not be subtracted if there's a vlan tag in skb->vlan_tci. This leads
to the code simply subtracting the Ethernet header length.
