Support for UDP fragmentation offloading was removed in kernel v4.14.
The ethtool reports incorrectly its state on this and newer kernels:

$ ethtool -k enp0s31f6 | grep udp-frag
udp-fragmentation-offload: off

It's look like that the feature is supported and disabled only. Instead
of this behavior the status of UFO should not be reported on such kernels.

As the UFO is only one feature that was removed from the ethtool I have
decided after discussion with John to implement only simple check for
this instead of implementing more generic solution like 'max_kernel_ver
field in struct off_flag_def'.
