Subject: [PATCH 2/2] xen: netfront: Drop GSO SKBs which do not have csum_blank.

The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial
checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB
which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a
partial checksum). Therefore drop such frames on receive otherwise
they will trigger the warning in skb_gso_segment.
