Re: [PATCH net-next 2/2 V3] net: driver: use NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE masks directly

For loopback device can support any offload, so directly using
NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE offload mask is enough safe.
And as Michał Mirosław suggested, add NETIF_F_HIGHDMA to hw_features.


For virtio_net driver, safely using NETIF_F_GSO_SOFTWARE offload mask for bit operation.

Looks ok. For loopback, more features are actually changeable - only
last 4 are really forced here.
