Subject: vxlan gso is broken by stackable gso_segment()

Hi Eric, Stephen,

it seems commit 3347c960 "ipv4: gso: make inet_gso_segment() stackable"
broke vxlan gso

the way to reproduce:
start two lxc with veth and bridge between them
create vxlan dev in both containers
do iperf

this setup on net-next does ~80 Mbps and a lot of tcp retransmits.
reverting 3347c960 and d3e5e006 gets performance back to ~230 Mbps

I guess vxlan driver suppose to set encap_level ? Some other way?

Thanks
Alexei
