In QnQ configurations like Flex-10 where the VLANs are inserted by the
ASIC, on rare occasions the HW is encountering a scenario where the
final frame length ends to be greater than what the ASIC can support.

This is because when the TXULP pulls the TX WRB to check the length
of the frame to be transmitted it also adds the size of VLANs to be
inserted by the HW to the length of the frame indicated in the WRB,
which in some cases fails the range check.  This causes a UE.

Avoid this by trimming the skb length to accommodate the VLAN insertion.
