The vlan_macip structure combined a vlan tag id with l2 and l3 headers lengths for tracking offloads. However, this structure was only used as a unit by the e1000 and ixgbe drivers, not generally. This patch removes the structure from the mbuf header and places the fields into the mbuf structure directly at the required point, without any net effect on the structure layout. This allows us to treat the vlan tags and header length fields as separate for future mbuf changes. The drivers which were written to use the combined structure still do so, using a driver-local definition of it. Reduce perf regression caused by splitting vlan_macip field. This is done by providing a single uint16_t value to allow writing/clearing the l2 and l3 lengths together. There is still a small perf hit to the slow path TX due to the reads from vlan_tci and l2/l3 lengths being separated. (<5% in my tests with testpmd with no extra params). Unfortunately, this cannot be eliminated, without restoring the vlan tags and l2/l3 lengths as a combined 32-bit field. This would prevent us from ever looking to move those fields about and is an artificial tie that applies only for performance in igb and ixgbe drivers. Therefore, this patch keeps the vlan_tci field separate from the lengths as the best solution going forward.
