net/core: generic support for disabling netdev features down stack

Browse Source 
There are some netdev features, which when disabled on an upper device,
such as a bonding master or a bridge, must be disabled and cannot be
re-enabled on underlying devices.

This is a rework of an earlier more heavy-handed appraoch, which simply
disables and prevents re-enabling of netdev features listed in a new
define in include/net/netdev_features.h, NETIF_F_UPPER_DISABLES. Any upper
device that disables a flag in that feature mask, the disabling will
propagate down the stack, and any lower device that has any upper device
with one of those flags disabled should not be able to enable said flag.

Initially, only LRO is included for proof of concept, and because this
code effectively does the same thing as dev_disable_lro(), though it will
also activate from the ethtool path, which was one of the goals here.

[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large
large-receive-offload: on
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k p5p1 |grep large
large-receive-offload: on
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -K bond0 lro off
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k bond0 |grep large
large-receive-offload: off
[root@dell-per730-01 ~]# ethtool -k p5p1 |grep large
large-receive-offload: off

dmesg dump:

[ 1033.277986] bond0: Disabling feature 0x0000000000008000 on lower dev p5p2.
[ 1034.067949] bnx2x 0000:06:00.1 p5p2: using MSI-X  IRQs: sp 74  fp[0] 76 ... fp[7] 83
[ 1034.753612] bond0: Disabling feature 0x0000000000008000 on lower dev p5p1.
[ 1035.591019] bnx2x 0000:06:00.0 p5p1: using MSI-X  IRQs: sp 62  fp[0] 64 ... fp[7] 71

This has been successfully tested with bnx2x, qlcnic and netxen network
cards as slaves in a bond interface. Turning LRO on or off on the master
also turns it on or off on each of the slaves, new slaves are added with
LRO in the same state as the master, and LRO can't be toggled on the
slaves.

Also, this should largely remove the need for dev_disable_lro(), and most,
if not all, of its call sites can be replaced by simply making sure
NETIF_F_LRO isn't included in the relevant device's feature flags.

Note that this patch is driven by bug reports from users saying it was
confusing that bonds and slaves had different settings for the same
features, and while it won't be 100% in sync if a lower device doesn't
support a feature like LRO, I think this is a good step in the right
direction.
