Summary
net: add vlan_get_protocol_and_depth() helper
Details

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: add vlangetprotocolanddepth() helper

Before blamed commit, pskbmaypull() was used instead of skbheaderpointer() in __vlangetprotocol() and friends.

Few callers depended on skb->head being populated with MAC header, syzbot caught one of them (skbmacgso_segment())

Add vlangetprotocolanddepth() to make the intent clearer and use it where sensible.

This is a more generic fix than commit e9d3f80935b6 ("net/af_packet: make sure to pull mac header") which was dealing with a similar issue.
