[...]

net_device::hw_features is supposed to represent features that can be
toggled, but the inclusion of a flag in net_device::vlan_features does
not mean the feature can be toggled.

If this is to be a straight conversion, that line should be:

	dev->hw_features = real_dev->vlan_features & NETIF_F_TSO;
