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 ()
