The deferred page init can help to improve memory initialization at boot
time.

We encountered one memory bandwidth regression in ck-release-17(v4.19.81).
Now, the fix patch for this issue has been backported in v4.19.84. so
enable it again.

Deferred struct_page init can same more boot time, especially for large
memory instance. In my local test with 2C312GB VM, it decreases from
2.389s to 0.138s.
Please note that this has a potential performance impact on processes
running early in the lifetime of the system until these kthreads finish
the initialisation.

With the VLAN filtering feature, the Linux bridge acts more like a
real switch. Administrators can control all VLANs with only one
bridge, making it more easy and efficient to set up distinct subnets
on virtualization servers.

Kubernetes cni (container network interface) takes advantages of this
feature to configure pod network.

There will be error prompt like below if BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING is not
set.
NetworkPlugin cni failed to set up pod "<pod-name>" network: failed to
create bridge "cni0": could not add "cni0": operation not supported.

Therefore, enable BRIDGE_VLAN_FILTERING in this commit.

impact only when disabling the service in the user-space. However, if
someone still tries to enable the feature, something like the balance of
