net: skbuff: Limit skb_vlan_pop/push() to expect skb->data at mac header
skb_vlan_pop/push were too generic, trying to support the cases where
skb->data is at mac header, and cases where skb->data is arbitrarily
elsewhere.
Supporting an arbitrary skb->data was complex and bogus:
- It failed to unwind skb->data to its original location post actual
pop/push.
(Also, semantic is not well defined for unwinding: If data was into
the eth header, need to use same offset from start; But if data was
at network header or beyond, need to adjust the original offset
according to the push/pull)
- It mangled the rcsum post actual push/pop, without taking into account
that the eth bytes might already have been pulled out of the csum.
Most callers (ovs, bpf) already had their skb->data at mac_header upon
invoking skb_vlan_pop/push.
Last caller that failed to do so (act_vlan) has been recently fixed.
Therefore, to simplify things, no longer support arbitrary skb->data
inputs for skb_vlan_pop/push().
skb->data is expected to be exactly at mac_header; WARN otherwise.
