The key problem is that unlike e.g. link modes, new netdev features are
not always added at the end. So even if we changed
netdev_features_strings[] array to have size determined automatically
from initializers, adding new netdev feature somewhere in the middle
(e.g. GSO one) without updating netdev_features_strings[] would not be
caught as simple array size check would not notice the hole (actually,
there are also two intended holes in the array).
