HSR and PRP tag and de-duplicate each wire frame separately. GRO on a
member device merges several frames into one skb that cannot get valid
per-frame metadata, and userspace can turn GRO back on at any time.

Mark direct members (slave A/B, interlink) with a kernel role bit.
While it is set, __netdev_update_features() drops software GRO and
configurable GRO_HW from wanted_features as well as from the computed
features, before ndo_fix_features(). GRO_HW that the driver keeps on
is left alone. The request has to go too: veth adds and deletes its
NAPI instances according to wanted_features, so with GRO still
requested, closing an attached veth spins in napi_disable(), and
detaching a veth that was attached while down and then brought up hits
the BUG_ON() in napi_enable(). As for LRO disabled by an upper device,
GRO is not restored when the port leaves; ethtool can turn it back on.

The attach fails if software GRO stays active. A failed attach does
not restore the GRO request either; the next patch refuses the usual
causes before any state is changed. GSO skbs can still arrive, for
example from a stacked member whose lower device runs GRO; a later
patch segments them.
