Fix sky2 disabling VLAN completely when the first vid is unregistered.

For some reason the VLAN code insists on the driver providing a
vlan_rx_kill_vid function even if only NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX and not
NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER is set, so this patch keeps an empty
function. This seems to be a bug though, vlan_rx_add_vid is only
required with NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_FILTER. Ben?

Reading other drivers, it looks like a better patch would be to
handle mode change in both set and kill.

The VLAN code tracks registered VIDs and will always call
vlan_rx_register(NULL) when the last VID is unregistered,
so this is not necessary.
Then should others be fixed...
