Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] bnx2x: disable GSO where gso_size is too big for hardware

If a bnx2x card is passed a GSO packet with a gso_size larger than
~9700 bytes, it will cause a firmware error that will bring the card
down:

bnx2x: [bnx2x_attn_int_deasserted3:4323(enP24p1s0f0)]MC assert!
bnx2x: [bnx2x_mc_assert:720(enP24p1s0f0)]XSTORM_ASSERT_LIST_INDEX 0x2
bnx2x: [bnx2x_mc_assert:736(enP24p1s0f0)]XSTORM_ASSERT_INDEX 0x0 = 0x00000000 0x25e43e47 0x00463e01 0x00010052
bnx2x: [bnx2x_mc_assert:750(enP24p1s0f0)]Chip Revision: everest3, FW Version: 7_13_1
... (dump of values continues) ...

Detect when the mac length of a GSO packet is greater than the maximum
packet size (9700 bytes) and disable GSO.

v4: Only call the slow check if the gso_size is large.
    Eric - I think this is what you had in mind?
    Manish - do you think this is an acceptable performance trade-off?
             GSO will work for any packet size, and only jumbo frames will
	     have to do the slower test.

Again, only build-tested.
