Willem de Bruijn 513e23857a net/packet: call packet_parse_headers after virtio_net_hdr_to_skb
SOCK_RAW packet sockets incorrectly drop VLAN-tagged GSO packets
without VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM.

packet_parse_headers() sets skb->protocol to VLAN but advances
skb->network_header past the VLAN tags. virtio_net_hdr_to_skb()
then flow dissects these packets, which parses the network header as a
VLAN tag, and fails.

Call packet_parse_headers() after virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() instead.

This matches tun_get_user() and tap_get_user() and thus simplifies
overall complexity.

Commit 01fdecc048 ("net: packet: fix wrong transport_header when
sending VLAN-tagged frame") fixed the same issue for the transport
header probe in packet_parse_headers(). That probe is now skipped if
virtio_net_hdr_to_skb() already set the transport header, avoiding a
redundant dissection.

Implementation details:
- Do not set skb->protocol to the RX wildcard ETH_P_ALL. SOCK_RAW then
  derives it from the link layer header, as before. SOCK_DGRAM now
  leaves it 0, or derives it from gso_type for GSO with NEEDS_CSUM.
- Keep virtio_net_hdr_set_proto() last, so that the link layer protocol
  takes priority over gso_type.
