With the newly added support for IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST netlink messages,
we get a warning about potential uninitialized variable use in
the parsing of the user input when enabling the -Wmaybe-uninitialized
warning:

net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setvfinfo':
net/core/rtnetlink.c:1756:9: error: 'ivvl$' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]

I have not been able to prove whether it is possible to arrive in
this code with an empty IFLA_VF_VLAN_LIST block, but if we do,
then ndo_set_vf_vlan gets called with uninitialized arguments.

This adds an explicit check for an empty list, making it obvious
to the reader and the compiler that this cannot happen.
