In the gateway code in case of VLAN tagged frame the ethhdr pointer is moved forward by 4 bytes so that the offset of h_proto in struct ethhdr matches the real h_vlan_encapsulated_proto address in the skb.
This trick is correct but the code is not easy to understand and may lead to bugs in case of re-use of ethhdr for other purposes.
Use a standalone protocol variable and assign it accordingly to the header type

How about adding the key word "refactoring" somewhere into the subject line or the commit message ?

While we are refactoring I suggest to not ntohs() the protocol every time but the protocol constants. The compiler will replace the constants with the appropriate number during the compilation, thus saving us from a runtime operation every time we check a packet.
