Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 3/4] failover: use ndo_set_features for failover offload compute

From: Hangbin Liu <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2026 11:03:11 +0800

Convert net_failover to use the ndo_set_features callback and calls
netdev_compute_master_upper_features() to compute new offload flags
during slave registration/unregistration.

This simplifies the failover code significantly by removing the custom
feature computation logic and relying on the centralized feature update
mechanism. The callback is automatically invoked during feature updates
when upper/lower device links change.
