[PATCH RFC net-next 2/3] net: 8021q: fix bridge binding behavior for vlan interfaces

[Sevinj Aghayeva]

Currently, when one creates a vlan interface with the bridge binding flag
disabled (using ip link add... command) and then enables the bridge binding flag
afterwards (using ip link set... command), the second command has no effect. In
other words, the vlan interface does not follow the status of the ports in its
vlan.

The root cause of this problem is as follows. The correct bridge binding
behavior depends on two flags being set: a per vlan interface flag
(VLAN_FLAG_BRIDGE_BINDING) and global per bridge flag
(BROPT_VLAN_BRIDGE_BINDING); the ip link set command calls vlan_dev_change_flags
function, which sets only the per vlan interface flag.

The correct behavior is to set/unset per bridge flag as well, depending on
whether there are other vlan interfaces with bridge binding flags set. The logic
for this behavior is already captured in br_vlan_upper_change function, which is
called whenever NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event occurs. This patch fixes the bridge
binding behavior by triggering the NETDEV_CHANGEUPPER event from the
vlan_dev_change_flags function whenever the per interface flag is changed.
