[PATCH net] macvlan: filter out unsupported feature flags
From: Shannon Nelson <hidden>

Adding a macvlan device on top of a lowerdev that supports
the xfrm offloads fails with a new regression:
# ip link add link ens1f0 mv0 type macvlan
RTNETLINK answers: Operation not permitted
Tracing down the failure shows that the macvlan device inherits
the NETIF_F_HW_ESP and NETIF_F_HW_ESP_TX_CSUM feature flags
from the lowerdev, but with no dev->xfrmdev_ops API filled
in, it doesn't actually support xfrm. When the request is
made to add the new macvlan device, the XFRM listener for
NETDEV_REGISTER calls xfrm_api_check() which fails the new
registration because dev->xfrmdev_ops is NULL.
The macvlan creation succeeds when we filter out the ESP
feature flags in macvlan_fix_features(), so let's filter them
out like we're already filtering out ~NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL.
When XFRM support is added in the future, we can add the flags
into MACVLAN_FEATURES.
This same problem could crop up in the future with any other
new feature flags, so let's filter out any flags that aren't
defined as supported in macvlan.
