[PATCH net v2] team: fix null-ptr-deref when team device type is changed

Get a null-ptr-deref bug as follows with reproducer [1].

When enslave a vlan device to team device and team device type is changed
from non-ether to ether, header_ops of team device is changed to
vlan_header_ops. That is incorrect and will trigger null-ptr-deref
for vlan->real_dev in vlan_dev_hard_header() because team device is not
a vlan device.

Assign eth_header_ops to header_ops of team device when its type is changed
from non-ether to ether to fix the bug.

v2:
  - Just modify header_ops to eth_header_ops not use ether_setup().

Hmm.. Do we need to export eth_header_ops? I got error like
ERROR: modpost: "eth_header_ops" [drivers/net/team/team.ko] undefined!

But I saw function loopback_setup() could reference this. Not sure what
I missed here.

Thanks

Yes, I also got the same error, and gave v3 patch with exporting eth_header_ops.

drivers/net/loopback.o controlled by CONFIG_NET, CONFIG_NET is bool type and usually Y.
So drivers/net/loopback.o does not need to export eth_header_ops.
