Subject: [PATCH] virtio-net: Fix probe of virtio-net on kvmtool

From: Rob Bradford <rbradford@...osinc.com>

kvmtool does not support the VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS feature
but does advertise the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_TSO{4,6} features. Check that
the VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS feature is present before setting
the NETIF_F_GRO_HW feature bit as otherwise an attempt will be made to
program the virtio-net device using the ctrl queue which will fail.

This resolves the following error when running on kvmtool:

[    1.865992] net eth0: Fail to set guest offload.
[    1.872491] virtio_net virtio2 eth0: set_features() failed (-22); wanted 0x0000000000134829, left 0x0080000000134829
