> Patch 01 converts the vlgrp member to use rcu as it was already used in a

> without rtnl or rcu held which could lead to using freed entries.
> Patch 03 removes some redundant code that isn't needed anymore.
> Patch 04 fixes a bug reported by Ido Schimmel about the vlan_flush order

> v2: patch 03 and 04 are new, couldn't escape the second synchronize_rcu()
