It's set here:
drivers/net/netvsc/hn_ethdev.c: hv->vlan_strip = !!(rxmode->offloads & 
RTE_ETH_RX_OFFLOAD_VLAN_STRIP);

If MANA always strips the tag, you need to add the tag back if needed.

@Alan has sent a patch for some helper marcos for parsing vlan_tci, please use 
those helper marcos in
https://git.dpdk.org/next/dpdk-next-net/commit/?id=f9c66ea9b5bfd15f314f6d101f156a312121e7e1
