I'm more inclined to make it simpler, i.e. always push inner vlan. That way you can arrange them
anyway you like, also skb_vlan_push() already takes care of all that. It'll push the vlan
if hwaccel is present or make it hwaccel if it isn't.

In fact I'd suggest using skb_vlan_push(), so you don't need another NFT_META_VLAN_INNER,
this one can be re-used. If you chain 2 of these you'll get properly double-tagged frame.
