commit 0ed21b321a13421e2dfeaa70a6c324e05e3e91e6
Author: Patrick McHardy <kaber@...sh.net>

    [VLAN]: Don't copy ALLMULTI/PROMISC flags from underlying device
    
    Changing these flags requires to use dev_set_allmulti/dev_set_promiscuity
    or dev_change_flags. Setting it directly causes two unwanted effects:
    
    - the next dev_change_flags call will notice a difference between
      dev->gflags and the actual flags, enable promisc/allmulti
      mode and incorrectly update dev->gflags
    
    - this keeps the underlying device in promisc/allmulti mode until
      the VLAN device is deleted
