Subtracting VLAN_HLEN from mac_len would break the common vlan cases,
where skb->protocol is ETH_P_8021Q and skb->mac_len is 14 on input to
__skb_vlan_pop. After __skb_vlan_pop pops the vlan header, it changes
skb->protocol to the protocol of the actual frame and has to leave
skb->mac_len at 14.

You'll need something more sophisticated to support MPLS here, I'm
afraid.
