flow_dissector: fix vlan tag handling

gcc warns about an uninitialized pointer dereference in the vlan
priority handling:

net/core/flow_dissector.c: In function '__skb_flow_dissect':
net/core/flow_dissector.c:281:61: error: 'vlan' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

As pointed out by Jiri Pirko, the variable is never actually used
without being initialized first as the only way it end up uninitialized
is with skb_vlan_tag_present(skb)==true, and that means it does not
get accessed.

However, the warning hints at some related issues that I'm addressing
here:

- the second check for the vlan tag is different from the first one
  that tests the skb for being NULL first, causing both the warning
  and a possible NULL pointer dereference that was not entirely fixed.
- The same patch that introduced the NULL pointer check dropped an
  earlier optimization that skipped the repeated check of the
  protocol type
- The local '_vlan' variable is referenced through the 'vlan' pointer
  but the variable has gone out of scope by the time that it is
  accessed, causing undefined behavior

Caching the result of the 'skb && skb_vlan_tag_present(skb)' check
in a local variable allows the compiler to further optimize the
later check. With those changes, the warning also disappears.

Fixes: 3805a938a6c2 ("flow_dissector: Check skb for VLAN only if skb specified.")
Fixes: d5709f7ab776 ("flow_dissector: For stripped vlan, get vlan info from skb->vlan_tci")
