Subject: [NET] gso: Fix GSO feature mask in sk_setup_caps

Hi Dave:

[NET] gso: Fix GSO feature mask in sk_setup_caps

This isn't a bug just yet as only TCP uses sk_setup_caps for GSO.
However, if and when UDP or something else starts using it this is
likely to cause a problem if we forget to add software emulation
for it at the same time.

The problem is that right now we translate GSO emulation to the
bitmask NETIF_F_GSO_MASK, which includes every protocol, even
ones that we cannot emulate.

This patch makes it provide only the ones that we can emulate.

Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@...dor.apana.org.au>

Cheers,
