vlan: avoid header copying and linearisation where possible
- vlan_dev_reorder_header() is only called on the receive path after calling skb_share_check(). This means we can use skb_cow() since all we need is a writable header. - vlan_dev_hard_header() includes a work-around for some apparently broken out of tree MPLS code. The hard_header functions can expect to always have a headroom of at least there own hard_header_len available, so the reallocation check is unnecessary. - __vlan_put_tag() can use skb_cow_head() to avoid the skb_unshare() copy when the header is writable.
