[dts][PATCH V1] vf_vlan: modify code to adapt dcf vlan offload

[Zhimin Huang]

After sync with dev,change rx path is not safe on device.
Usually the device driver requires the device not be started to change offloads.
For now the test result under vector path is normal.
So we change to scalar path to test dcf vlan offload.

Applied, thanks
