The sanity checks on the control modes will reject any request related
to an unsupported features, even turning it off.

Example on an interface which does not support CAN-FD:

$ ip link set can0 type can bitrate 500000 fd off
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not supported

This patch lets such command go through (but requests to turn on an
unsupported feature are, of course, still denied).

I'm planing to send a pull request to net-next today. I want to do some
more tests with this series, but this patch is more or less unrelated,
so I can take it in this PR, should I?

regards,
Marc
