vlan: Add function to retrieve EtherType from vlan packets.

Browse Source 
Depending on how a packet is vlan tagged (i.e. hardware accelerated or
not), the encapsulated protocol is stored in different locations.  This
provides a consistent method of accessing that protocol, which is needed
by drivers, security checks, etc.
