The rte_net_get_ptype() supported only 2 types of VLAN headers frames
that are defined in the IEEE standards 802.1Q and 802.1ad:
frames with a single 0x8100 VLAN header:
  eth type VLAN / vlan / [IPv4 | IPv6 ]
frames with 0x88A8 QinQ header followed by 0x8100 VLAN:
 eth type QinQ / vlan type VLAN / vlan / [IPv4 | IPv6 ]
The function did not parse frames where VLAN headers were stacked in
different configurations.
Such frames should also be allowed to provide HW vendor flexibility.
As a result, ptype bitmask and header length returned from
rte_net_get_ptype() for a custom VLAN frame were wrong.
For example, the parser result for the frame
  eth type QinQ / vlan type QinQ / vlan type VLAN / vlan / ipv4
was:
pkt_type:=0x120007
   RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_QINQ         0x00000007 OK
   RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L2_ETHER_VLAN   0x00020000 wrong
   RTE_PTYPE_INNER_L3_IPV4         0x00100000 wrong
hdr_lens:={
  l2_len       = 22 wrong
  inner_l2_len =  4 wrong
  l3_len       =  0 wrong
  inner_l3_len = 20 wrong
}
The patch changes:
1. Allow frames with an arbitrary number of VLAN headers.
2. Set each parsed VLAN type in the returned ptype bitmask.
   Multiple VLAN headers are referenced by a single
   RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_VLAN bit.
   Multiple QinQ headers are references by a single
   RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER_QINQ bit.
3. Preserve RTE_PTYPE_L2_ETHER bit if VLAN or QinQ type was detected.

Fixes: 218a163efd67 ("net: support QinQ in software packet type parser")
