The legacy ethtool userspace tool shows an error when no features could
be changed. It's useful to have a netlink reply to be able to show this
error when __netdev_update_features wasn't called, for example:
1. ethtool -k eth0
large-receive-offload: off
2. ethtool -K eth0 rx-fcs on
3. ethtool -K eth0 lro on
Could not change any device features
rx-lro: off [requested on]
4. ethtool -K eth0 lro on
# The output should be the same, but without this patch the kernel
# doesn't send the reply, and ethtool is unable to detect the error.
This commit makes ethtool-netlink always return a reply when requested,
and it still avoids unnecessary calls to __netdev_update_features if the
wanted features haven't changed.

ethtool-netlink ignores dev->hw_features and may confuse the drivers by
asking them to enable features not in the hw_features bitmask. For
example:
1. ethtool -k eth0
tls-hw-tx-offload: off [fixed]
2. ethtool -K eth0 tls-hw-tx-offload on
tls-hw-tx-offload: on
3. ethtool -k eth0
tls-hw-tx-offload: on [fixed]
Fitler out dev->hw_features from req_wanted to fix it and to resemble
the legacy ethtool behavior.

Currently, ethtool-netlink calculates new wanted bits as:
(req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_active & ~req_mask)
It completely discards the old wanted bits, so they are forgotten with
the next ethtool command. Sample steps to reproduce:
1. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: on # TSO is on from the beginning
2. ethtool -K eth0 tx off
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [not requested]
3. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: off [requested on]
4. ethtool -K eth0 rx off # Some change unrelated to TSO
5. ethtool -k eth0
tx-tcp-segmentation: off # "Wanted on" is forgotten
This commit fixes it by changing the formula to:
(req_wanted & req_mask) | (old_wanted & ~req_mask),
where old_active was replaced by old_wanted to account for the wanted
bits.
The shortcut condition for the case where nothing was changed now
compares wanted bitmasks, instead of wanted to active.

Send ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_NTF notification whenever network device features
are modified using ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET netlink message, ethtool ioctl
request or any other way resulting in call to netdev_update_features() or
netdev_change_features()

Implement FEATURES_SET netlink request to set network device features.
These are traditionally set using ETHTOOL_SFEATURES ioctl request.
Actual change is subject to netdev_change_features() sanity checks so that
it can differ from what was requested. Unlike with most other SET requests,
in addition to error code and optional extack, kernel provides an optional
reply message (ETHTOOL_MSG_FEATURES_SET_REPLY) in the same format but with
different semantics: information about difference between user request and
actual result and difference between old and new state of dev->features.
This reply message can be suppressed by setting ETHTOOL_FLAG_OMIT_REPLY
flag in request header.
