[ Upstream commit 24ab059d2ebd62fdccc43794796f6ffbabe49ebc ]
Some drivers might misbehave if TSO packets get too big.
GVE for instance uses a 16bit field in its TX descriptor,
and will do bad things if a packet is bigger than 2^16 bytes.
Linux TCP stack honors dev->gso_max_size, but there are
other ways for too big packets to reach an ndo_start_xmit()
handler : virtio_net, af_packet, GRO...
Add a generic check in gso_features_check() and fallback
to GSO when needed.
gso_max_size was added in the blamed commit.
Fixes: 82cc1a7a5687 ("[NET]: Add per-connection option to set max TSO frame size")

[ Upstream commit 1d155dfdf50efc2b0793bce93c06d1a5b23d0877 ]
In bug report [0] a warning in r8169 driver was reported that was
caused by an invalid GSO SKB (gso_type was 0). See [1] for a discussion
about this issue. Still the origin of the invalid GSO SKB isn't clear.
It shouldn't be a network drivers task to check for invalid GSO SKB's.
Also, even if issue [0] can be fixed, we can't be sure that a
similar issue doesn't pop up again at another place.
Therefore let gso_features_check() check for such invalid GSO SKB's.
