Don't try to adjust XFRM support flags if the bond device isn't yet
registered. Bad things can currently happen when netdev_change_features()
is called without having wanted_features fully filled in yet. This code
runs both on post-module-load mode changes, as well as at module init
time, and when run at module init time, it is before register_netdevice()
has been called and filled in wanted_features. The empty wanted_features
led to features also getting emptied out, which was definitely not the
intended behavior, so prevent that from happening.
Originally, I'd hoped to stop adjusting wanted_features at all in the
bonding driver, as it's documented as being something only the network
core should touch, but we actually do need to do this to properly update
both the features and wanted_features fields when changing the bond type,
or we get to a situation where ethtool sees:
esp-hw-offload: off [requested on]
I do think we should be using netdev_update_features instead of
netdev_change_features here though, so we only send notifiers when the
features actually changed.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
