udp: add gso support to virtual devices

Browse source 
Virtual devices such as tunnels and bonding can handle large packets.
Only segment packets when reaching a physical or loopback device.

NETIF_F_TSO_ECN means that hardware can properly split packets with CWR bit
set, be it TCPv4 (when NETIF_F_TSO is enabled) or TCPv6 (NETIF_F_TSO6).
* Transmit UDP segmentation offload
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_GSO_L4 accepts a single UDP header with a payload that exceeds
gso_size. On segmentation, it segments the payload on gso_size boundaries and
replicates the network and UDP headers (fixing up the last one if less than
gso_size).
* Transmit DMA from high memory
On platforms where this is relevant, NETIF_F_HIGHDMA signals that
