virtio-net: initialize vlan_features
There's nothing that prevent passing the device features of virtio_net to its vlan device. So this patch simply passes those to vlan device to benefit from advanced features. Netperf shows better sending performance for vlan device since TSO can work on vlan now. before: netperf -H 192.168.5.2 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.5.2 () port 0 AF_INET : demo Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 4162.35 after: netperf -H 192.168.5.2 MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.5.2 () port 0 AF_INET : demo Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 9365.42 Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: "Michael S.
