Subject: [Patch 2/2] mlx4: add dynamic LRO disable support

This patch adds dynamic LRO diable support for mlx4 net driver.
It also fixes a bug of mlx4, which checks NETIF_F_LRO flag in rx
path without rtnl lock.

I don't have mlx4 card, so only did compiling test. Anyone who wants
to test this is more than welcome.

This is based on Neil's initial work too.
