we need it to ensure that vlan_transfer_features() updates
the (new) value of hw_enc_features in the overlying vlan: otherwise,
segmentation will happen anyway when skb passes from vxlan to vlan, if the
vxlan is added after the vlan device has been created (see: 7dad9937e064
("net: vlan: add support for tunnel offload") ).
