[Stanislaw Gruszka]

Return EOPNOTSUPP in ethtool_ops->set_flags.

Fix coding style while at it.

Does not make sense to me. Switching LRO on/off is supported from the driver, why should the function return -EOPNOTSUPP ?

We return EOPNOTSUPP only if someone will try to setup other features
than LRO, if data == ETH_FLAG_LRO we will turn LRO on, and turn it off
when data == 0.
