[net-next,03/10] net: Update remote checksum segmentation to support use of GSO checksum

This patch addresses two main issues.

First in the case of remote checksum offload we were avoiding dealing with
scatter-gather issues.  As a result it would be possible to assemble a
series of frames that used frags instead of being linearized as they should
have if remote checksum offload was enabled.

Second I have updated the code so that we now let GSO take care of doing
the checksum on the data itself and drop the special case that was added
for remote checksum offload.

Did you test this (with vxlan or GUE)?

I was testing with VXLAN.
