Revert "net: macsec: report real_dev features when HW offloading is enabled"
This reverts commit c850240b. That commit tried to improve the performance of macsec offload by taking advantage of some of the NIC's features, but in doing so, broke macsec offload when the lower device supports both macsec and ipsec offload, as the ipsec offload feature flags (mainly NETIF_F_HW_ESP) were copied from the real device. Since the macsec device doesn't provide xdo_* ops, the XFRM core rejects the registration of the new macsec device in xfrm_api_check. Example perf trace when running ip link add link eni1np1 type macsec port 4 offload mac ip 737 [003] 795.477676: probe:xfrm_dev_event__REGISTER name="macsec0" features=0x1c000080014869 xfrm_dev_event+0x3a notifier_call_chain+0x47 register_netdevice+0x846 macsec_newlink+0x25a ip 737 [003] 795.477687: probe:xfrm_dev_event__return ret=0x8002 (NOTIFY_BAD) notifier_call_chain+0x47 register_netdevice+0x846 macsec_newlink+0x25a dev->features includes NETIF_F_HW_ESP (0x04000000000000), so xfrm_api_check returns NOTIFY_BAD because we don't have dev->xfrmdev_ops on the macsec device. We could probably propagate GSO and a few other features from the lower device, similar to macvlan. This will be done in a future patch.
