When stack receives pkt: [802.1P vlan 0][802.1AD vlan 100][IPv4],
vlan_do_receive() returns false if it does not find vlan_dev. Later
__netif_receive_skb_core() fails to find packet type handler for
skb->protocol 801.1AD and drops the packet.
801.1P header with vlan id 0 should be handled as untagged packets.
This patch fixes it by checking if vlan_id is 0 and processes next vlan
header.

v2: Move the check out of vlan_do_receive() to
__netif_receive_skb_core(). This way, we do not change the
behaviour when rx_handler is registered. i.e do not strip off
802.1P header when bridge (or rx_handler) is registered.
