VLAN: kill_vid is only useful for VLAN filtering devices
The interface for network device VLAN extension was confusing. The kill_vid function is only really useful for devices that do hardware filtering. Devices that only do VLAN receiption without filtering were being forced to provide the hook, and there were bugs in those devices. Many drivers had kill_vid routine that called vlan_group_set_device, with NULL, but that is done already.
