The legacy ethtool prints an error message and returns 1 if no features were changed as requested. Port this behavior to ethtool-netlink. req_mask is compared to wanted_mask to detect if any feature was changed. If these masks are equal, it means that the kernel hasn't changed anything, and all bits got to wanted.
