datapath: Enable vlan offload on internal devices.
Although it is generally best to configure vlans directly though
Open vSwitch, enabling vlan acceleration on internal devices can
avoid some issues and hardware limitations if Linux vlan devices
are used. It is only used on kernels that support modern vlan
data structures, which are 2.6.27 and later.
