[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] i40e: modify the meaning of single VLAN type

[Beilei Xing <beilei.xing@intel.com>]

In current i40e codebase, if single VLAN header is added in a packet,
it's treated as inner VLAN. Generally, a single VLAN header is
treated as the outer VLAN header. So change corresponding register
for single VLAN.
At the meanwhile, change the meanings of inner VLAN and outer VLAN.
