Subject: [PATCH 3.12 36/72] macvtap: unbreak receiving of gro skb with frag list

From: Jason Wang <jasowang@...hat.com>

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

===============

[ Upstream commit f23d538bc24a83c16127c2eb82c9cf1adc2b5149 ]

We don't have fraglist support in TAP_FEATURES. This will lead
software segmentation of gro skb with frag list. Fixes by having
frag list support in TAP_FEATURES.

With this patch single session of netperf receiving were restored from
about 5Gb/s to about 12Gb/s on mlx4.

Fixes a567dd6252 ("macvtap: simplify usage of tap_features")
