macsec: add some of the lower device's features when offloading

This commit extends the set of netdevice features supported by macsec
devices when offload is enabled, which increases performance
significantly (for a single TCP stream: 17.5Gbps to 38.5Gbps on my
test machines).

Commit c850240b6c41 ("net: macsec: report real_dev features when HW
offloading is enabled") previously attempted something similar, but
had to be reverted (commit 8bcd560ae878 ("Revert "net: macsec: report
real_dev features when HW offloading is enabled"")) because the set of
features it exposed was too large.

During initialization, all features are set, and they're then removed
via ndo_fix_features (macsec_fix_features). This allows the
offloadable features to be automatically enabled if offloading is
turned on after device creation.
