When we need to shape traffic with low speeds, we need to disable tso on
network interface :

ethtool -K eth0.2240 tso off

It seems vlan interfaces miss the set_tso() ethtool method.
Propagating tso changes from lower device is not always wanted, some
vlan want TSO on, other want TSO off.

But it should not be possible to enable TSO if the underlying device
doesn't support it.

Yes indeed, I'll provide a more generic patch, thanks !
