Subject[net-next PATCH 1/2] virtio-net: initialize vlan_features
Date
There's nothing that prevent passing the device features of virtio_net to its
vlan device. So this patch simply passes those to vlan device to benefit from
advanced features.

Netperf shows better sending performance for vlan device since TSO can work on
vlan now.

before:
netperf -H 192.168.5.2
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.5.2 ()
port 0 AF_INET : demo
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec

87380 16384 16384 10.00 4162.35

after:
netperf -H 192.168.5.2
MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.5.2 ()
