-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

From: Patrick McHardy <kaber@xxxxxxxxx>
Upstream commit: 0ed21b321a13421e2dfeaa70a6c324e05e3e91e6
Changing these flags requires to use dev_set_allmulti/dev_set_promiscuity
or dev_change_flags. Setting it directly causes two unwanted effects:
- the next dev_change_flags call will notice a difference between
dev->gflags and the actual flags, enable promisc/allmulti
mode and incorrectly update dev->gflags
- this keeps the underlying device in promisc/allmulti mode until
the VLAN device is deleted
[ Ported back to 2.6.24 VLAN code. -DaveM ]
