net: Fix high overhead of vlan sub-device teardown.
When a networking device is taken down that has a non-trivial number of VLAN devices configured under it, we eat a full synchronize_net() for every such VLAN device. This is because of the call chain: NETDEV_DOWN notifier --> vlan_device_event() --> dev_change_flags() --> __dev_change_flags() --> __dev_close() --> __dev_close_many() --> dev_deactivate_many() --> synchronize_net() This is kind of rediculous because we already have infrastructure for batching doing operation X to a list of net devices so that we only incur one sync. So make use of that by exporting dev_close_many() and adjusting it's interfaace so that the caller can fully manage the batch list. Use this in vlan_device_event() and all the overhead goes away.
