Subject: [PATCH] tcp: fix setting csum_start in tcp_gso_segment

Dave Jones reported that a crash is occuring in

csum_partial
tcp_gso_segment
inet_gso_segment
? update_dl_migration
skb_mac_gso_segment
__skb_gso_segment
dev_hard_start_xmit
sch_direct_xmit
__dev_queue_xmit
? dev_hard_start_xmit
dev_queue_xmit
ip_finish_output
? ip_output
ip_output
ip_forward_finish
ip_forward
ip_rcv_finish
ip_rcv
__netif_receive_skb_core
? __netif_receive_skb_core
? trace_hardirqs_on
__netif_receive_skb
netif_receive_skb_internal
napi_gro_complete
? napi_gro_complete
dev_gro_receive
? dev_gro_receive
napi_gro_receive

It looks like a likely culprit is that SKB_GSO_CB()->csum_start is
not set correctly when doing non-scatter gather. We are using
offset as opposed to doffset.
