No limits to have any "middle" device between real end device and
virtual one, not only a bridge, but also other kind. And as it's generic
change, it should cover all such cases, the simplest example is:
real_dev/macvlan/vlan.

No issue to retrieve vlan dev if it's directly on top of real dev.
Issue is to get it when it's not directly connected as it's not in
vlan_info group list. Who knows what else can be "structed" on top of
real dev till the vlan device. Please look on reply for cover letter,
as it seems requires similar response.
