If other features than NETIF_F_LOOPBACK were changed correctly, this should
update dev->features of what changed before error return. If not, device's
state will diverge to what is in dev->features.

You can remove the '& ~NETIF_F_HIGHDMA' part, as it's now allowed to be
changed (commit fa2bd7ff9247f4218dfc907db14d000cd7edd862).
