If mbuf refcnt was > 1 then rte_vlan_insert() would incorrectly
modify the original copy. Original code was expecting clone to make
a copy (it doesn't). Better to let the caller deal with making
a copy or setting up mbuf chain to allow for header to be added.
Also fix docbook comment about parameters (function takes
pointer to mbuf).
Fixes: c974021a5949 ("ether: add soft vlan encap/decap")
