nbp_vlan_add() should not be called with vid 0 because vid 0 of fdb
entries is internally used when vlan_filtering is disabled, and such
entries are exposed to userspace as those without any vlan id.
bridge's vlan_filtering is respecting 802.1Q-2011 spec, which says vid 0
cannot be used as a normal vlan id.
If vlan 0 can be added, it should be a bug.
