Any protocol handlers (ptype_all or ptype_base) registered on the parent interface may need to see
the skb untagged, for all the reasons given in this thread. Arguably, doing software untagging
earlier wouldn't help. :-) We need a strong logic to decide whether and when to untag and/or
possibly re-tag.
