All mbuf packets have been init to zero when pktmbuf pool create. So judgment this flag is safe, whether or not support VLAN stripping.

Ok, I see your point. A LACP PDU can't be encapsulated in a VLAN packet anyway, as it is link local traffic. So a check for ol_flags & PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT != 0 should be sufficient, otherwise if the PKT_RX_VLAN_PKT flag is true the packet cannot be link local and therefore a LACP PDU. I think that it's safe to assume all PMDs must set this flag if VLAN stripping is enabled?
