macvtap: Ignore tap features when VNET_HDR is off
When the user turns off VNET_HDR support on the macvtap device, there is no way to provide any offload information to the user. So, it's safer to ignore offload setting then depend on the user setting them correctly. Signed-off-by: Vlad Yasevich <vyasevic@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
