\addfontfeature relaxes font faces when NFSSfamily was used

[mrpiggi]

Description

When a font family is defined with NFSSfamily and several FontFace, using \addfontfeature relaxes all defined font shapes except that one currently used.

I came across this because of an error with package microtype due to this behavior. The package stores all used font shapes in \MT@font@list by hooking into \pickup@font but can not execute a specific \font@name as it is undefined after using \addfontfeature.
