The above commit 431bc9c42e should not be backported.
Tx VLAN offload is disabled in the iavf AVX-512 path in
23.11 (see commit efe1b63775e8 net/iavf: fix VLAN insertion
in vector path). Because of this the optimisation in the
proposed backport patch would be to no effect, so I don't
think it should be backported.

Thanks,
Ciara
