Subject: [PATCH net-next v4 1/2] net: mana: Handle SKB if TX SGEs exceed hardware limit

The MANA hardware supports a maximum of 30 scatter-gather entries (SGEs)
per TX WQE. Exceeding this limit can cause TX failures.
Add ndo_features_check() callback to validate SKB layout before
transmission. For GSO SKBs that would exceed the hardware SGE limit, clear
NETIF_F_GSO_MASK to enforce software segmentation in the stack.
Add a fallback in mana_start_xmit() to linearize non-GSO SKBs that still
exceed the SGE limit.

Also, Add ethtool counter for SKBs linearized
