Some high-level virtual drivers need to compute features from their
lower devices, but each currently has its own implementation and may
miss some feature computations. This patch set introduces a common function
to compute features for such devices.

Currently, bonding, team, and bridge have been updated to use the new
helper.

v5:
* rename VIRTUAL_DEV_* to UPPER_DEV_* (Jiri Pirko)
* use IS_ENABLED() instead of ifdef (Simon Horman)
* init max_headroom/tailroom (Simon Horman)

v4:
* update needed_{headroom, tailroom} in the common helper (Ido Schimmel)
* remove unneeded err in team (Stanislav Fomichev)
* remove selftest as `ethtool -k` does not test the dev->*_features. We
  can add back the selftest when there is a good way to test. (Sabrina Dubroca)

v3:
a) fix hw_enc_features assign order (Sabrina Dubroca)
b) set virtual dev feature definition in netdev_features.h (Jakub Kicinski)
c) remove unneeded err in team_del_slave (Stanislav Fomichev)
d) remove NETIF_F_HW_ESP test as it needs to be test with GSO pkts (Sabrina Dubroca)

v2:
a) remove hard_header_len setting. I will set needed_headroom for bond/team
   in a separate patch as bridge has it's own ways. (Ido Schimmel)
   b) Add test file to Makefile, set RET=0 to a proper location. (Ido Schimmel)

  net: add a common function to compute features for upper devices
  bonding: use common function to compute the features
  team: use common function to compute the features
  net: bridge: use common function to compute the features
