OK, in that case I think the safest option is to just disable
SIT GRO.  If folks need this then they should make sure that
it works properly, i.e., the packets generated by GRO must be
in a form that GSO can grok.  Also it should not cause hardware
TX to lock up (though this may yet turn out to be a hardware
bug).

This patch reverts 19424e052fb44da2f00d1a868cbb51f3e9f4bbb5 ("sit:
Add gro callbacks to sit_offload") because it generates packets
that cannot be handled even by our own GSO.
