These two patches fix issues in offloading of mirror-to-gretap when
bridge is present in the underlay.
In patch #1, reconsideration of SPAN configuration is not done right at
the point that SWITCHDEV_OBJ_ID_PORT_VLAN deletion notification is
distributed, but is postponed, because the notifications are actually
distributed before the relevant change is implemented in the bridge.
In patch #2, a problem in configuring VLAN tagging in situations when a
VLAN device is on top of an 802.1Q bridge whose egress port is marked as
"egress untagged". In that case, mlxsw would neglect to suppress the
tagging implicitly assumed after the VLAN device was seen.

From: Petr Machata <redacted>
When offloading mirroring to gretap or ip6gretap netdevices, an 802.1q
bridge is one of the soft devices permissible in the underlay when
resolving the packet path. After the packet path is resolved to a
particular bridge egress device, flags on packet VLAN determine whether
the egressed packet should be tagged.
The current logic however only ever sets the VLAN tag, never suppresses
it. Thus if there's a VLAN netdevice above the bridge that determines
the packet VLAN, that VLAN is never unset, and mirroring is configured
with VLAN tagging.
Fix by setting the packet VLAN on both branches: set to zero (for unset)
when BRIDGE_VLAN_INFO_UNTAGGED, copy the resolved VLAN (e.g. from bridge
PVID) otherwise.
