Subject: [PATCH net-next] net: remove netdevice gso_min_segs

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

After introduction of ndo_features_check(), we believe that very
specific checks for rare features should not be done in core
networking stack.

No driver uses gso_min_segs yet, so we revert this feature and save
few instructions per tx packet in fast path.
