Subject: [PATCH] net: Change netdev_fix_features messages loglevel

Those reduced to DEBUG can possibly be triggered by unprivileged processes
and are nothing exceptional. Illegal checksum combinations can only be
caused by driver bug, so promote those messages to WARN.

Since GSO without SG will now only cause DEBUG message from
netdev_fix_features(), remove the workaround from register_netdevice().
