gso: AccECN support
Handling the CWR flag differs between RFC 3168 ECN and AccECN.
With RFC 3168 ECN aware TSO (NETIF_F_TSO_ECN) CWR flag is cleared
starting from 2nd segment which is incompatible how AccECN handles
the CWR flag. Such super-segments are indicated by SKB_GSO_TCP_ECN.
With AccECN, CWR flag (or more accurately, the ACE field that also
includes ECE & AE flags) changes only when new packet(s) with CE
mark arrives so the flag should not be changed within a super-skb.
The new skb/feature flags are necessary to prevent such TSO engines
corrupting AccECN ACE counters by clearing the CWR flag (if the
CWR handling feature cannot be turned off).
If NIC is completely unaware of RFC3168 ECN (doesn't support
NETIF_F_TSO_ECN) or its TSO engine can be set to not touch CWR flag
despite supporting also NETIF_F_TSO_ECN, TSO could be safely used
with AccECN on such NIC. This should be evaluated per NIC basis
(not done in this patch series for any NICs).
For the cases, where TSO cannot keep its hands off the CWR flag,
a GSO fallback is provided by this patch.
