Subject: [PATCH net] xen-netback: fix gso_prefix check

There is a mistake in checking the gso_prefix mask when passing large
packets to a guest. The wrong shift is applied to the bit - the raw skb
gso type is used rather then the translated one. This leads to large packets
being handed to the guest without the GSO metadata. This patch fixes the
check.

The mistake manifested as errors whilst running Microsoft HCK large packet
offload tests between a pair of Windows 8 VMs. I have verified this patch
fixes those errors.
