Conntrack is l2 agnostic, so this either requires distinct
ip addresses in the vlans/pppoe tunneled traffic or users
need to configure connection tracking zones manually to
ensure there are no collisions or traffic merges (i.e.,
packet x from PPPoE won't be merged with frag from a vlan).

Actually reading  nf_ct_br_defrag4/6 it seems existing
code already has this bug :/

I currently don't see a fix for this problem.
Can't add L2 addresses to conntrack since those aren't
unique accross vlans/tunnels and they can change anyway
even mid-stream, we can't add ifindexes into the mix
as we'd miss all reply traffic, can't use the vlan tag
since it can be vlan-in-vlan etc.

So likely, we have to live with this.

Maybe refuse to track (i.e. ACCEPT) vlan/8021ad qinq, etc.
traffic if the skb has no template with a zone attached to it?

This would at least push 'address collisions' into the
'incorrect ruleset configuration' domain.
