Quite frankly all the ndo_select_queue() / ARFS / XPS stuff are already
a mess.

You need a socket pointer to be able to change the queue numbers we
cache in it. We lack this information at GSO segmentation.

Let's do GSO properly and provide skbs exactly like if they were built
by TCP stack. (Well, there _is_ some difference, as the truesize will
have less overhead)
