8021q: Vlan driver should use rcu_barrier() on unload instead of syncronize_net()
The VLAN 8021q driver needs to call rcu_barrier() when unloading the module, instead of syncronize_net(). This is needed to make sure that outstanding call_rcu() callbacks have completed, before the callback function code is removed on module unload.
