Eric Joyner cf1509179c em/ix/ixv/ixl/iavf: Implement ifdi_needs_restart iflib method
Pursuant to r360398, implement driver-specific versions of the
ifdi_needs_restart iflib device method.

Some (if not most?) Intel network cards don't need reinitializing when a
VLAN is added or removed from the device hardware, so these implement
ifdi_needs_restart in a way that tell iflib not to bring the interface
up or down when a VLAN is added or removed, regardless of whether the
VLAN_HWFILTER interface capability flag is set or not.

This could potentially solve several PRs relating to link flaps that
occur when VLANs are added/removed to devices.
