vlan: restore ethtool ABI to control VLAN hardware acceleration

Browse Source 
As part of the push to add 802.1ad server provider tagging support to the
kernel the VLAN features flags were renamed. Unfortunately the kernel name
for the VLAN hardware acceleration features that the kernel shows user space
was included in the rename, which broke ethtool (txvlan and rxvlan options
do not work). This patch restores the original names, i.e. the original ABI.
If we wanted to make clear to users that we are refering to CTAGs we can
always change ethtool's short_name and long_name for these features (for
example something along the lines of txvlan -> txvlan-ctag, tx-vlan-offload ->
tx-vlan-ctag-offload).
