When comparing a network ordered value with a constant, it is better to convert the constant at compile time by means of __constant_htons() instead of converting the value at runtime using ntohs().
This refactoring may slightly improve the code performance.

v2: - patch rebased on top of "batman-adv: use VLAN_ETH_HLEN instead of sizeof(struct vlan_eth_hdr)"
v3: - use __constant* for vlan_insert_tag() argument

After discussing with Simon, we realised that using __constant_htons is useless since htons is smart enough to be as efficient as his brother __constant*.
Therefore this patch will be re-arranged to use htons only. It will still remove some ntohs and make use of htons at their place.
