Some interesting observations. The customer deployed a pair of Centos7
machines and confirmed the vlan0 tag issue existed there as well. That
wasn't too surprising.

However, they deployed a pair of Centos6 machines and they do NOT have
the vlan0 tag issue.

This seems to confirm that the issue is not actually within the switch
but within linux itself.

Within a thread on a community discussion on cisco.com, a Cisco employee
responded saying it's a Linux bug that should already be patched. The
Cisco person's response:

That URL referenced is behind a login page so I've attached a pdf of the
page from the customer.

Within that document it mentions a couple of URLS:

    https://lists.openwall.net/netdev/2013/09/10/30
    https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bridge/2015-July/009630.html

Those are very old. If they are describing the same problem/solution,
then this would be a regression.

The net.bridge.bridge-nf-filter-vlan-tagged setting is for filtering
vlans with iptables. I feel that is not likely the right direction.
