Subject: [PATCH 1/2] ixgb: Don't check for vlan group on transmit.

On transmit, the ixgb driver will only use vlan acceleration if a
vlan group is configured.  This can lead to tags getting dropped
when bridging because the networking core assumes that a driver
that claims vlan acceleration support can do it at all times.  This
change should have been part of commit eab6d18d "vlan: Don't check for
vlan group before vlan_tx_tag_present." but was missed.
