__vlan_get_protocol_offset() starts with VLAN_MAX_DEPTH (8) but
pre-decrements parse_depth before checking it. This rejects the eighth
VLAN header and returns protocol 0 instead of the encapsulated EtherType.
Check the counter before decrementing it, allowing eight nested tags
while continuing to reject a ninth. A compiled source-extracted test of
the helper and its public inline wrapper reproduces the incorrect result
for eight tags and verifies the corrected result. Seven-tag, nine-tag,
and truncated-header controls are unchanged.
