Subject: net: enable dynamic lro disabling for vlans

Hey there-
	Noted recently that, while physical devices have lro disabled when
attached to a bridge, vlan devices do not.  This is because the vlan netdev has
no get/set flags method in its ethtool_ops struct. This series adds those
methods as passthrough calls to the underlying physical devices, so that whe
dev_disable_lro is called on a vlan device, the physical device underneath has
lro properly disabled.
