Subject: [PATCH v4] net: fix hw_features ethtool_ops->set_flags compatibility

__ethtool_set_flags() was not taking into account features set but not
user-toggleable.

Since GFLAGS returns masked dev->features, EINVAL is returned when
passed flags differ to it, and not to wanted_features.

This should be the simpler way Ben was talking about.
