[PATCH net-next v3 1/9] bnxt_en: let the stack segment GSO skbs with too many frags

[Stanislav Fomichev <sdf.kernel@gmail.com>]

With MAX_SKB_FRAGS > TX_MAX_FRAGS, the xmit path linearizes skbs with
more frags than a packet can have BDs. For GSO skbs, linearizing needs a
large allocation, can produce a head which doesn't fit in a BD with BIG
TCP, and always fails for unreadable skbs. Clear the GSO features of
such skbs in ndo_features_check instead, so that the stack segments
them. Non-GSO skbs are still linearized.
