Subject: [PATCH] net: remove unused 'dev' argument from netif_needs_gso()

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

In commit 04ffcb255f22 ("net: Add ndo_gso_check") Tom originally
added the 'dev' argument to be able to call ndo_gso_check().

Then later, when generalizing this in commit 5f35227ea34b
("net: Generalize ndo_gso_check to ndo_features_check")
Jesse removed the call to ndo_gso_check() in netif_needs_gso()
by calling the new ndo_features_check() in a different place.
This made the 'dev' argument unused.

Remove the unused argument and go back to the code as before.
