Subject: [PATCH dpdk v4] net: fix VLAN packet type

This patch fixes a bug where single VLAN frames are misidentified as QinQ
due to incorrect bitwise OR operations when setting L2 packet types in
rte_net_get_ptype().

Does this code handle the pkt_type initialization correctly? The variable
pkt_type is initialized to RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER before entering the VLAN
loop. When this code overwrites pkt_type with the assignment operator,
does it properly preserve any L3/L4 type information that might have been
set before entering this case block?

Looking at the function flow, pkt_type is set to RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER early
in the function, then the code enters a loop based on proto (the ethertype).
If a VLAN ethertype is encountered, this new code will overwrite pkt_type
completely. Can this cause issues if any bits other than the L2 field were
already set in pkt_type?

The ternary operator spans multiple lines. According to the coding style
guide section on operators, when breaking lines within ternary operators,
the question mark and colon should align. The current indentation has the
colon indented one extra space compared to the condition line. Can this
indentation be adjusted to match the style where the '?' and ':' align?

The removed code used '|=' which caused the bug. Does the fix ensure that
subsequent VLAN tags in stacked configurations don't overwrite the L2 type
set for the first tag?

Does this code check for the rte_pktmbuf_append failure correctly? After
calling rte_pktmbuf_free(m), the RTE_TEST_ASSERT_NOT_NULL macro will cause
the function to return an error. However, does the macro guarantee that no
further code executes? If execution continues past the assertion, does the
code safely handle the freed mbuf?
