[Bridge] [PATCH v2 1/1] net: bridge: use mac_len in bridge forwarding

The bridge code cannot forward packets from various paths that set up the
SKBs in different ways. Some of these packets get corrupted during the
forwarding as not always is just ETH_HLEN pulled at the front. This happens
e.g. when VLAN tags are pushed bu using tc act_vlan on ingress.

The problem is fixed by using skb->mac_len instead of ETH_HLEN, which makes
sure that the skb headers are correctly restored. This usually does not
change anything, execpt the local bridge transmits which now need to set
the skb->mac_len correctly in br_dev_xmit, as well as the broken case noted
above.
