Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 2/6] netdev_features: remove unused __UNUSED_NETIF_F_1

NETIF_F_NO_CSUM was removed in 3.2-rc2 by commit 34324dc2bf27
("net: remove NETIF_F_NO_CSUM feature bit") and became
__UNUSED_NETIF_F_1. It's not used anywhere in the code.
Remove this bit waste.

It wasn't needed to rename the flag instead of removing it as
netdev features are not uAPI/ABI. Ethtool passes their names
and values separately with no fixed positions and the userspace
Ethtool code doesn't have any hardcoded feature names/bits, so
that new Ethtool will work on older kernels and vice versa.
