3.5.7.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cong Wang <amwang at redhat.com>

commit da8c87241c26aac81a64c7e4d21d438a33018f4e upstream.

There are two places to call vlan_set_encap_proto():
vlan_untag() and __pop_vlan_tci().

vlan_untag() assumes skb->data points after mac addr, otherwise
the following code

        vhdr = (struct vlan_hdr *) skb->data;
        vlan_tci = ntohs(vhdr->h_vlan_TCI);
        __vlan_hwaccel_put_tag(skb, vlan_tci);

        skb_pull_rcsum(skb, VLAN_HLEN);

won't be correct. But __pop_vlan_tci() assumes points _before_
mac addr.

In vlan_set_encap_proto(), it looks for some magic L2 value
after mac addr:

        rawp = skb->data;
        if (*(unsigned short *) rawp == 0xFFFF)
	...

Therefore __pop_vlan_tci() is obviously wrong.

A quick fix is avoiding using skb->data in vlan_set_encap_proto(),
use 'vhdr+1' is always correct in both cases.
