team: fix null-ptr-deref when team device type is changed

Get a null-ptr-deref bug as follows with reproducer [1].

When enslave a vlan device to team device and team device type is changed from non-ether to ether, headerops of team device is changed to vlanheaderops. That is incorrect and will trigger null-ptr-deref for vlan->realdev in vlandevhard_header() because team device is not a vlan device.

Cache ethheaderops in teamsetup(), then assign cached headerops to header_ops of team net device when its type is changed from non-ether to ether to fix the bug.
