    net: vlan, qlcnic: make vlan_find_dev private                                                    
                                                                                                     
    there is only one user of vlan_find_dev outside of the actual vlan code:                         
    qlcnic uses it to iterate over some VLANs it knows.                                              
                                                                                                     
    let's just make vlan_find_dev private to the VLAN code and have the                              
    iteration in qlcnic be a bit more direct. (a few rcu dereferences less                           
    too)
