Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipvlan: forbid vlan devices on top of ipvlan

Currently we allow the creation of 8021q devices on top of
ipvlan, but such devices are nonfunctional, as the underlying
ipvlan rx_hanlder hook can't match the relevant traffic.

Be explicit and forbid the creation of such nonfunctional devices.
