I'm referring to a case like this:
1. create br0.10 (802.1ad)
2. change br->vlan_proto into 88a8

When creating br0.10 (1), br->vlan_proto is 8100 and different from
protocol of br0.10, so it is ignored by br_vlan_rx_add_vid().
After changing br->vlan_proto (2), we might expect vlan 10 is not
filtered on br0, but it will be filtered.

Thanks,
