The TSO engine works well when the frames are not VLAN Tagged.
But it will produce broken segments when frames are VLAN Tagged.

The first segment is all good, while the second segment to the
last segment are broken, they lack of required VLAN tag.

An example here:
========
// 1st segment of a VLAN Tagged TSO frame, nothing wrong.

// 2nd to last segments of a VLAN Tagged TSO frame, VLAN tag is missing.
MacSrc > MacDst, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 1514: HostA:42643 > HostB:5201: Flags [.], seq 1449:2897

MacSrc > MacDst, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 1514: HostA:42643 > HostB:5201: Flags [P.], seq 5793:7241

// normal VLAN Tagged non-TSO frame, nothing wrong.

When transmitting VLAN Tagged TSO frames, never insert VLAN tag by HW,
always insert VLAN tag to SKB payload, then TSO works well on VLANs for
all MAC cores.

Tested on DWMAC CORE 5.10a, DWMAC CORE 5.20a and DWXGMAC CORE 3.20a

Changes in v2:
- Use __vlan_hwaccel_push_inside() to insert vlan tag to the payload.

As there will be another iteration, could you please re-arrange
variables to keep reverse x-mas tree order?
