yes can be: vlan_dev_get_addr_vid - get vlan id the address belongs to

and then return -1, not sure, just because it's 0 or directly set by vlan
layer and is verified anyway. But no harm to verify even it looks like
redundancy.

It shouldn't be part of netdev addr module, no any vlan_dev_vlan_id(vlan_dev)
should be there.

It's scaled becouse bond/team ...etc, are ethernet devices and have IVDF
enabled while configuration. Address propagation always is from leafs to
real root device, every underneeth device knows nothing about above, so
check is only in one direction.
