[Bug 1880735] [NEW] stray messages about failure to active chzdev device

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

stray messages about failure to active chzdev device

When booting with VLAN configuration, chzdev -e is attempted on both the
underlying parent device and the VLAN device. Which does not make sense.
We should not attempt to call chzdev -e on the VLAN device.
