[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 05/24] ether: Add soft vlan encap/decap functions

It is helpful to allow device drivers that don't support hardware
VLAN stripping to emulate this in software. This allows application
to be device independent.

Avoid discarding shared mbufs. Make a copy in rte_vlan_insert() of any
packet to be tagged that has a reference count > 1.
