Subject: [PATCH net-next 6/6] net: dsa: clear VLAN flags for CPU port

When the bridge offloads a VLAN on a slave port, we also need to
program its dedicated CPU port as a member of the VLAN.

Drivers may handle the CPU port's membership as they want. For example,
Marvell as a special "Unmodified" mode to pass frames as is through
such ports.

Even though DSA expects the drivers to handle the CPU port membership,
they are unlikely to program such VLANs untagged, and certainly not as
PVID. This patch clears the VLAN flags before programming the CPU port.
