Changing br->vlan_proto seems to cause inconsistency between vlan
interfaces and filter settings.
Can we automatically change filters when setting vlan_proto?

It might lead to unexpected behaviour, for example,
1. create br0.10
2. set pvid to 10 on br0
3. delete br0.10
Then, pvid will also be cleared?
Something like ref counting is needed?
