CVE request: kernel: igb panics when receiving tag vlan packet

If igb's SR-IOV and promiscuous mode are enabled and the interface receives a tag VLAN packet, this will result in a null pointer dereference. To fix this, we will backport upstream commit 31b24b95 to ensure that vlan_gro_receive is only used if vlans have been registered to the adapter structure.
