[Intel-wired-lan] [iwl next-queue PATCH 07/10] macvlan: Provide function for interfaces to release HW offload

This patch provides a basic function to allow a lower device to disable
macvlan offload if it was previously enabled on a given macvlan. The idea
here is to allow for recovery from failure should the lowerdev run out of
resources.
