IDK, vlan knows it's calling the bridge:

+	if ((vlan->flags ^ old_flags) & VLAN_FLAG_BRIDGE_BINDING &&
+	    netif_is_bridge_master(vlan->real_dev)) {

bridge knows it's vlan calling:

+	if (is_vlan_dev(dev)) {
+		br_vlan_device_event(dev, event, ptr);

going thru the generic NETDEV notifier seems odd.

If this is just to avoid the dependency we can perhaps add a stub 
like net/ipv4/udp_tunnel_stub.c ?
