be2net: don't flip hw_features when VXLANs are added/deleted



the be2net implementation of .ndo_tunnel_{add,del}() changes the value of
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL bit in 'features' and 'hw_features', but it forgets
to call netdev_features_change(). Moreover, ethtool setting for that bit
can potentially be reverted after a tunnel is added or removed.

GSO already does software segmentation when 'hw_enc_features' is 0, even
if VXLAN offload is turned on. In addition, commit 096de2f8 ("benet:
stricter vxlan offloading check in be_features_check") avoids hardware
segmentation of non-VXLAN tunneled packets, or VXLAN packets having wrong
destination port. So, it's safe to avoid flipping the above feature on
addition/deletion of VXLAN tunnels.

Fixes: 630f4b70 ("be2net: Export tunnel offloads only when a VxLAN tunnel is created")
