netdev_features: convert NETIF_F_NETNS_LOCAL to dev->netns_local
"Interface can't change network namespaces" is rather an attribute, not a feature, and it can't be changed via Ethtool.

+dev->netns_local
If the switchdev driver (and device) only supports offloading of the default
-network namespace (netns), the driver should set this feature flag to prevent
+network namespace (netns), the driver should set this private flag to prevent
the port netdev from being moved out of the default netns. A netns-aware
driver/device would not set this flag and be responsible for partitioning
hardware to preserve netns containment. This means hardware cannot forward
