[PATCH linux next v3] net: stmmac: remove software VLAN tag stripping

[he.peilin at zte.com.cn]

The software VLAN stripping logic in stmmac_rx_vlan() was originally
introduced in 2014 by commit b93819854d6e ("stmmac: Add vlan rx for
better GRO performance.") as a workaround to improve GRO performance,
since at that time GRO could not handle frames with VLAN tags. However,
this limitation was resolved in 2015 by commit 66e5133f19e9 ("vlan: Add
GRO support for non hardware accelerated vlan"), which added GRO support
for non-hardware-accelerated VLAN frames. Keeping a software fallback
path for VLAN stripping is no longer necessary and only adds complexity.

Fixes: b93819854d6e ("stmmac: Add vlan rx for better GRO performance.")
