When bridging locally originated VLAN-tagged packets, we must ensure
skb->protocol is properly set to ETH_P_8021Q. Currently, if this field
remains unset, br_allowed_ingress() may incorrectly drop valid VLAN
packets during the bridge transmission path.

Fix this by explicitly checking eth_hdr(skb)->h_proto for VLAN tags when
handling locally generated packets.

Why do you think the protocol is incorrect? Did you see a problem with
some particular setup?
