net: fix a data race when get vlan device

We encountered a crash: in the packet receiving process, we got an
illegal VLAN device address, but the VLAN device address saved in vmcore
is correct. After checking the code, we found a possible data
competition:
CPU 0:                             CPU 1:
    (RCU read lock)                  (RTNL lock)
    vlan_do_receive()		       register_vlan_dev()
      vlan_find_dev()

        ->__vlan_group_get_device()	 ->vlan_group_prealloc_vid()

In vlan_group_prealloc_vid(), We need to make sure that memset()
in kzalloc() is executed before assigning  value to vlan devices array:
=================================
kzalloc()
    ->memset(object, 0, size)

smp_wmb()

vg->vlan_devices_arrays[pidx][vidx] = array;
==================================

Because __vlan_group_get_device() function depends on this order.
otherwise we may get a wrong address from the hardware cache on
another cpu.

So fix it by adding memory barrier instruction to ensure the order
of memory operations.
