I guess you don't need the condition skb_vlan_tag_present(skb), i.e.,

if (skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_8021Q) ||
    skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_8021AD))

__vlan_get_protocol() can fail, and then, depth will not be initialized.

I think you should set network_header after
skb_probe_transport_header(). It calls skb_flow_dissect_flow_keys(),
which seems to expect network_header to be ETH_HLEN.
