Subject: tg3: Do not include vlan acceleration features in vlan_features

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 51dfe7b944998eaeb2b34d314f3a6b16a5fd621b ]

Including hardware acceleration features in vlan_features breaks
stacked vlans (Q-in-Q) by marking the bottom vlan interface as
capable of acceleration.  This causes one of the tags to be lost
and the packets are sent with a sing vlan header.
