Subject: [PATCH 4.9 038/108] net: fix ndo_features_check/ndo_fix_features comment ordering

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Dimitris Michailidis <dmichail@...gle.com>


[ Upstream commit 1a2a14444d32b89b28116daea86f63ced1716668 ]

Commit cdba756f5803a2 ("net: move ndo_features_check() close to
ndo_start_xmit()") inadvertently moved the doc comment for
.ndo_fix_features instead of .ndo_features_check. Fix the comment
ordering.
