This restores the original behaviour before the block callbacks were
introduced. Allow the drivers to do binding of block always, no matter
if the NETIF_F_HW_TC feature is on or off. Move the check to the block
callback which is called for rule insertion.

Could you explain why not add this check to the core?  IIUC every
driver will have to duplicate it if we want to keep the behaviour
of tc offloads we have today.
