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.

Cache eth_header_ops in team_setup(), then assign cached header_ops to

header_ops of team net device when its type is changed from non-ether

to ether to fix the bug.
