Don't update the global structures based on caps of a single device.
The opt-in is to declare that the driver will act on the value, doesn't
necessarily mean that given device can support the feature.
Leave ETHTOOL_RING_USE_TX_PUSH_BUF_LEN always set and error out
appropriately in ena_set_ringparam().

Option #2 is to refactor the supported features into a struct
and add a callback for driver to "fix up" the caps at request time.
But that'd touch a lot of drivers.
