net: Check per-flow priority code point for untagged traffic

Commit 868aabb4708d introduced per-flow priority. There's a defect in the
logic for untagged traffic, it does not check M_VLANTAG set in the mbuf
packet header or MTAG_8021Q/MTAG_8021Q_PCP_OUT tag set by firewall, then
can result missing desired priority in the outbound packets.

For mbuf packet with M_VLANTAG in header, some interfaces happen to work
due to bug in the drivers mentioned in D39499. As modern interfaces have
VLAN hardware offloading, the defect is barely noticeable unless the
feature per-flow priority is widely tested.

As a side effect of this defect, the soft padding to work around buggy
bridges is bypassed. That may result in regression if soft padding is
requested.
