[VLAN]: Reduce memory consumed by vlan_groups

Currently each vlan_groupd contains 8 pointers on arrays with 512
pointers on struct net_device each  :)  Such a construction "in many
cases ... wastes memory".

My proposal is to allow for some of these arrays pointers be NULL,
meaning that there are no devices in it. When a new device is added
to the vlan_group, the appropriate array is allocated.

The check in vlan_group_get_device's is safe, since the pointer
vg->vlan_devices_arrays[x] can only switch from NULL to not-NULL.
The vlan_group_prealloc_vid() is guarded with rtnl lock and is
also safe.

I've checked (I hope that) all the places, that use these arrays
and found, that the register_vlan_dev is the only place, that can
put a vlan device on an empty vlan_group.

Rough calculations shows, that after the patch a setup with a
single vlan dev (or up to 512 vlans with sequential vids) will
occupy approximately 8 times less memory.

The question I have is - does this patch makes sense, or a totally
new structures are required to store the vlan_devs?
