Change Summary
Remove the lines of code that checked if the kernel had offloading enabled and was then forcing the config to set it to "on." The behavior now mirrors the config and offloading will only be enabled if the config is explicitly set to enabled.
Note: the code is still present to disable the offloading, in the config, if the kernel doesn't support it.

Proposed changes
Delete lines of code that set the ethernet offload setting based on the Kernel offload setting.
How to test
On a system where the kernel enables offloading at boot and/or the offload is currently set in the config:
No offloading settings should be shown. On VyOS 1.5, without this PR, the offload settings will automatically be restored.
