    net: vlan: suppress "failed to kill vid" warnings · bd706ff8
    Julian Wiedmann authored
    When a real dev unregisters, vlan_device_event() also unregisters all
    of its vlan interfaces. For each VID this ends up in __vlan_vid_del(),
    which attempts to remove the VID from the real dev's VLAN filter.
    
    But the unregistering real dev might no longer be able to issue the
    required IOs, and return an error. Subsequently we raise a noisy warning
    msg that is not appropriate for this situation: the real dev is being
    torn down anyway, there shouldn't be any worry about cleanly releasing
    all of its HW-internal resources.
    
    So to avoid scaring innocent users, suppress this warning when the
    failed deletion happens on an unregistering device.
    While at it also convert the raw pr_warn() to a more fitting
    netdev_warn().
