Subject: [net-next PATCH 1/2] virtio-net: initialize vlan_features

There's nothing that prevent passing the device features of virtio_net to its
vlan device. So this patch simply passes those to vlan device to benefit from
advanced features.

Netperf shows better sending performance for vlan device since TSO can work on
vlan now.

before:
