Subject: [PATCH net v3 1/5] Revert "net: macsec: report real_dev features when HW offloading is enabled"

This reverts commit c850240b6c4132574a00f2da439277ab94265b66.

That commit tried to improve the performance of macsec offload by
taking advantage of some of the NIC's features, but in doing so, broke
macsec offload when the lower device supports both macsec and ipsec
offload, as the ipsec offload feature flags (mainly NETIF_F_HW_ESP)
were copied from the real device. Since the macsec device doesn't
provide xdo_* ops, the XFRM core rejects the registration of the new
macsec device in xfrm_api_check.

Example perf trace when running
  ip link add link eni1np1 type macsec port 4 offload mac

    ip   737 [003]   795.477676: probe:xfrm_dev_event__REGISTER      name="macsec0" features=0x1c000080014869
              xfrm_dev_event+0x3a
              notifier_call_chain+0x47
              register_netdevice+0x846
              macsec_newlink+0x25a

    ip   737 [003]   795.477687:   probe:xfrm_dev_event__return      ret=0x8002 (NOTIFY_BAD)
             notifier_call_chain+0x47
             register_netdevice+0x846
             macsec_newlink+0x25a

dev->features includes NETIF_F_HW_ESP (0x04000000000000), so
xfrm_api_check returns NOTIFY_BAD because we don't have
dev->xfrmdev_ops on the macsec device.

We could probably propagate GSO and a few other features from the
lower device, similar to macvlan. This will be done in a future patch.
