Subject: [PATCH net v2] e1000e: keep vlan interfaces functional after rxvlan off

I've got a bug report about an e1000e interface, where a vlan interface is
set up on top of it:

$ ip link add link ens1f0 name ens1f0.99 type vlan id 99
$ ip link set ens1f0 up
$ ip link set ens1f0.99 up
$ ip addr add 192.168.99.92 dev ens1f0.99

At this point, I can ping another host on vlan 99, ip 192.168.99.91.
However, if I do the following:

$ ethtool -K ens1f0 rxvlan off

Then no traffic passes on ens1f0.99. It comes back if I toggle rxvlan on
again. Upon discussion with folks here, and closer inspection, it appears
that the software *receive* fallback is working correctly, but outbound
traffic is broken. Upon glancing at the e1000 driver, I saw a note about
having to keep RX and TX accel flags in sync, because there's no
(hardware?) support for separate vlan accel toggle. Swipe the same hack
from the e1000 driver, and things start to behave again with rxvlan off.

After patch:

$ ping 192.168.99.91

Actual changes:

tx-vlan-offload: off [requested on]

Also slipped a related-ish fix to the kerneldoc text for
e1000e_vlan_strip_disable here...
