Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 6/6] net: dsa: clear VLAN PVID flag 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,
it does not make sense to program user VLANs as PVID on the CPU port.
This patch clears this flag before programming the CPU port.
