You cannot just remove the old code. Only things like 8021q uppers will
send packets with the VLAN in the hwaccel area.

If you have an application that puts the VLAN in the actual AF_PACKET
payload, like:

https://github.com/vladimiroltean/tsn-scripts/blob/master/isochron/send.c

then you need to handle the VLAN being in the skb payload.
