Subject: tun: Fix crash with non-GSO users

Hi:

tun: Fix crash with non-GSO users

When I made the tun driver use non-linear packets as the preferred
option, it broke non-GSO users because they would end up allocating
a completely non-linear packet, which triggers a crash when we call
eth_type_trans.

This patch reverts non-GSO users to using linear packets and adds
a check to ensure that GSO users can't cause crashes in the same
way.
