How so?  eth_hdr(skb) is a proper subset of vlan_hdr(skb)?

vlan_insert_tag() moves the ethernet header to make space for the vlan
header after it, but before the rest of the data.  With the appropriate
fixups applied to the skb->mac_pointer.

I can see not leaving a vlan_hdr(skb) reference, but beyond that I'm
not seeing the problem.

Certainly we need to do the insert before we update the statics or
we will get rx_bytes wrong.

Would you be happier if the pkt_type check was moved earlier in the
function like say:
