ife action is out of tree, but I believe this should be possible with
vlan action and using reclassify as tc opcode.

Has kbuild bot issues, I'd probably just move this under 'reset' label,
like:

diff --git a/net/sched/sch_api.c b/net/sched/sch_api.c
index b5c2cf2..af1acf0 100644
--- a/net/sched/sch_api.c
+++ b/net/sched/sch_api.c
@@ -1852,6 +1852,7 @@ reset:
  	}

  	tp = old_tp;
+	protocol = tc_skb_protocol(skb);
  	goto reclassify;
  #endif
  }

Thanks,
Daniel
