Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] macvtap: Allow tap features change when IFF_VNET_HDR is disabled.

When the user turns off IFF_VNET_HDR flag, attempts to change
offload features via TUNSETOFFLOAD do not work.  This could cause
GSO packets to be delivered to the user when the user is
not prepared to handle them.

To solve, allow processing of TUNSETOFFLOAD when IFF_VNET_HDR is
disabled.  Also, take the setting of IFF_VNET_HDR into consideration
when determining the feature set to apply to incommig traffic.
If IFF_VNET_HDR is set, we use user-specfied feature set.  if the
IFF_VNET_HDR is clear, we mask off all tun-specific offload features,
since user can not be notified of the possbile offloads.
