This is a bit tricky to fix since we actually need some valid
ops before invoking ->init(). One way would be to move the compat
ops initialization to a seperate function and have VLAN use it to
switch its ops.

Mind if I push this into net-2.6?

vlan: Fix vlan-in-vlan crashes.

As analyzed by Patrick McHardy, vlan needs to reset it's
netdev_ops pointer in it's ->init() function but this
leaves the compat method pointers stale.

Add a netdev_resync_ops() and call it from the vlan code.

This looks fine, thanks. Even if it doesn't fix this particular
report, I think its appropriate for net-2.6.
