Commit eab6d18d "vlan: Don't check for vlan group before
vlan_tx_tag_present" removed the need for the adapter variable
in igb_xmit_frame_ring_adv().  This removes the variable as well
to avoid the compiler warning.

<content type='text'>
Many (but not all) drivers check to see whether there is a vlan
group configured before using a tag stored in the skb.  There's
not much point in this check since it just throws away data that
should only be present in the expected circumstances.  However,
it will soon be legal and expected to get a vlan tag when no
vlan group is configured, so remove this check from all drivers
to avoid dropping the tags.

<title>vlan: Rename VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN to VLAN_N_VID.</title>

VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN is simply the number of possible vlan VIDs.
Since vlan groups will soon be more of an implementation detail
for vlan devices, rename the constant to be descriptive of its
actual purpose.

There are currently some problems with igb.

- On 32bit arches, maintaining 64bit counters without proper
synchronization between writers and readers.

- Stats updated every two seconds, as reported by Jesper.
   (Jesper provided a patch for this)

- Potential problem between worker thread and ethtool -S

This patch uses u64_stats_sync, and convert everything to be 64bit safe,
SMP safe, even on 32bit arches. It integrates Jesper idea of providing
accurate stats at the time user reads them.

<content type='text'>
If the netdev-&gt;features is set with NETIF_F_HIGHDMA, we should set the
corresponding netdev-&gt;vlan_features as well to allow VLAN netdev created
on top of the real netdev to be able to also benefit from HIGHDMA on 32bit
system, reducing the performance hit that is caused by __skb_linearize(),
particularly for large send. This is fixed in this patch for all Intel e1000,
e1000e, igb, ixgbe, and ixgbe drivers since this should be beneficial
to all devices supported by these drivers.
