When __netdev_update_features() was updated to ensure some features are
disabled on new lower devices, an error was introduced for devices which
don't have the ndo_set_features() method set. Before we'll just set the
new features, but now we return an error and don't set them. Fix this by
returning the old behaviour and setting err to 0 when ndo_set_features
is not present.

    This makes the 'err' initializer pointless.

It doesn't, there's a previous goto statement that might get hit and we
need it to be -1 so we don't signal a feature change.

   Ah, sorry, it was late and I was being stupid. :-<
