Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 10/12] net: ethernet: mtk_eth_soc: work around issue with sending small fragments

When frames are sent with very small fragments, the DMA engine appears to
lock up and transmit attempts time out. Fix this by detecting the presence
of small fragments and use skb_gso_segment + skb_linearize to deal with
them
