net: introduce netdev_change_features()
It will be needed by bonding and other drivers changing vlan_features after ndo_init callback. As a bonus, this includes kernel-doc for netdev_update_features(). Signed-off-by: Michał Mirosław <mirq-linux@rere.qmqm.pl> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
