A better place may be to add it at the beginning of
hsr_fill_frame_info() at which point there is one copy and after that
code enters hsr_forward_do() to replicate. I don't think we can place it
anywhere before that code.

hsr_dev_xmit()
   - hsr_forward_skb()
      - hsr_fill_frame_info()

Inside hsr_fill_frame_info() we could do

	if (ethhdr->h_proto == htons(ETH_P_8021Q)) {
		frame->is_vlan = true;
		/* FIXME: */
		netdev_warn_once(skb->dev, "VLAN not yet supported");
	}
+	min_size = ETH_ZLEN + HSR_HLEN;
+       if (frame->is_vlan)
+		min_size += 4;
+	ret = skb_put_padto(skb, min_size))
+	if (ret)
+	     return ret;

At this point, it will be ready to tag the frame. Frame will be either a
supervision frame which is already tagged or standard frame from upper
layer. Either case, padto() is required. So looks like the right place
to avoid doing it twice.

And packet would get dropped at the caller if skb_put_padto() fails. So
we could return the return value to the caller.

This also eliminates similar padto() call in 
send_hsr_supervision_frame() as well.

What do you think?
