The body of the if statement can be executed only when the variable
vlan_count equals to 32, so the condition of the while statement can
not be true and the while statement is dead code. Remove it.

This got broken back in 2011:

commit 5da96be53a16a62488316810d0c7c5d58ce3ee4f
Author: Jiri Pirko <jpirko@redhat.com>
Date:   Wed Jul 20 04:54:31 2011 +0000

    starfire: do vlan cleanup
    
    - unify vlan and nonvlan rx path
    - kill np->vlgrp and netdev_vlan_rx_register

The comparison to 32 was on a different variable before that change.

Ion, do you think anyone is still using this driver?

Maybe it's time we put it in the history book (by which I mean remove
from the kernel).

All right then. I'll whip out the Dremel this weekend and hopefully get 
a test rig going... :)
