[PATCH net-next] net: core: Assert the size of netdev_featres_t

[Florian Fainelli]

We have about 53 netdev_features_t bits defined and counting, add a
build time check to catch when an u64 type will not be enough and we
will have to convert that to a bitmap. This is done in
register_netdevice() for convenience.
