net/8021q ignores the VLAN header overhead, so we should probably do the
same here for consistency. Using IS_VLAN_IP (and IS_PPPOE_IP for current
-rc) looks fine, additionally we should probably also check for
skb->nfct != NULL to make sure that at least without connection tracking
the bridge doesn't perform fragmentation.
