vlan: Export symbols as non GPL symbols.



In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the
'real-device' and the VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN.  In more recent
kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do
without accessing private .h files for any module that cannot use
GPL-only symbols.

Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to
access the real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.
