net: fix ethtool->set_flags not intended -EINVAL return value

After commit d5dbda23804156ae6f35025ade5307a49d1db6d7 "ethtool: Add
support for vlan accleration.", drivers that have NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_TX,
and/or NETIF_F_HW_VLAN_RX feature, but do not allow enable/disable vlan
acceleration via ethtool set_flags, always return -EINVAL from that
function. Fix by returning -EINVAL only if requested features do not
match current settings and can not be changed by driver.

Change any driver that define ethtool->set_flags to use
ethtool_invalid_flags() to avoid similar problems in the future
(also on drivers that do not have the problem).

Tested with modified (to reproduce this bug) myri10ge driver.
