Subject: vlan: Fix VLAN 0 memory leak
From: Vlad Buslov <vladbu@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 718cb09aaa6fa78cc8124e9517efbc6c92665384 upstream.
The referenced commit intended to fix memleak of VLAN 0 that is implicitly
created on devices with NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_CTAG_FILTER feature. However, it
doesn't take into account that the feature can be re-set during the
netdevice lifetime which will cause memory leak if feature is disabled
during the device deletion as illustrated by [0]. Fix the leak by
unconditionally deleting VLAN 0 on NETDEV_DOWN event.
