Why is this notification needed?  On VLAN add/del, the port driver
will already get called if it implements ndo_vlan_rx_add_vid and
ndo_vlan_rx_kill_vid.  The port driver already gets the notification
it needs to filter vlans.  User space can query for vlan port
membership if it needs to know.

This doesn't look right.  The skb wasn't allocated large enough to
hold vlan info.  If this is working in your tests, you're getting
lucky due to some skb padding.

skb was allocated with br_nlmsg_size(), which doesn't include vlan info.
