Subject: [PATCH net-next] virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

Virtio-net devices negotiate LRO support with the host.
Display the initially negotiated state with ethtool -k.

Also allow configuring it with ethtool -K, reusing the existing
virtnet_set_guest_offloads helper that disables LRO for XDP.

Virtio-net negotiates TSO4 and TSO6 separately, but ethtool does not
distinguish between the two. In the unlikely legacy case where the
host only supports one of the two, maintain the current state.

RTNL is held while calling virtnet_set_features, same as on the path
from virtnet_xdp_set.

Tested:
  Verified that large-receive-offload is "off [fixed]" when not
  negotiated during initial probe and "on" otherwise.

  Measured packet size when scp-ing a large file to the guest with
  nstat (IpExtInOctets / IpInDelivers). Verified that packet size
  exceeds MTU only if ethtool -k shows LRO and/or GRO as enabled.
