Subject: [net-next PATCH 2/2] tuntap: initialize vlan_features

The vlan_features was zero which prevents vlan GSO packets to be transmitted to
userspace. This is suboptimal so enable this by initialize vlan_features for
tuntap.

Netperf shows better performance of guest receiving since vlan TSO works for
tuntap:
