Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] net: vlan: Replace BUG() with WARN_ON_ONCE() in vlan_dev_* stubs

When CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=n, a set of stub helpers are used, three of these
helpers use BUG() unconditionally.

This code should not be reached, as callers of these functions should
always check for is_vlan_dev() first, but the usage of BUG() is not
recommended, replace it with WARN_ON() instead.

This also resolves the following compilation error when:
* CONFIG_VLAN_8021Q=n
* CONFIG_OBJTOOL=y
* CONFIG_OBJTOOL_WERROR=y

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/mlx5_core.o: error: objtool: parse_mirred.isra.0+0x370: mlx5e_tc_act_vlan_add_push_action() missing __noreturn in .c/.h or NORETURN() in noreturns.h

Which is caused by the call to BUG(), which never returns.
