Subject: [PATCH] vlan: allow creating vlan when real device is not up

There is no reason for the arbitrary restriction that device must be
up to create a vlan. This patch was added to Vyatta kernel to resolve startup
ordering issues where vlan's are created but real device was disabled.

Note: the vlan already correctly inherits the operstate from real device; so
if vlan is created and real device is marked down, the vlan is marked
down.
