bond_compute_features() uses netdev_increment_features() to
combine vlan_features of slaves into vlan_features of the bond.
As netdev_increment_features() only adds most features and we
start with BOND_VLAN_FEATURES, we may end up with features none
of the slaves provided.
In particular, BOND_VLAN_FEATURES contains NETIF_F_HW_CSUM so
that netdev_increment_features() clears NETIF_F_IP{,V6}_CSUM and
if we only have slaves with NETIF_F_IP_CSUM | NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM
(e.g. ixgbe based cards), the same will be in features of the
bond and a vlan device on top of the bond would support no
checksumming, resulting in significant performance degradation.
If there is at least one slave, initialize vlan_features only
with the flags in NETIF_F_ALL_FOR_ALL. Right now there is none
in BOND_VLAN_FEATURES but stating it explicitely will make the
code more future proof.
