Yadu Kishore 1454c9fa91 net: Make skb_segment not to compute checksum if network controller supports checksumming
Problem:
TCP checksum in the output path is not being offloaded during GSO
in the following case:
The network driver does not support scatter-gather but supports
checksum offload with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

Cause:
skb_segment calls skb_copy_and_csum_bits if the network driver
does not announce NETIF_F_SG. It does not check if the driver
supports NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.
So for devices which might want to offload checksum but do not support SG
there is currently no way to do so if GSO is enabled.

Solution:
In skb_segment check if the network controller does checksum and if so
call skb_copy_bits instead of skb_copy_and_csum_bits.

Testing:
Without the patch, ran iperf TCP traffic with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM enabled
in the network driver. Observed the TCP checksum offload is not happening
since the skbs received by the driver in the output path have
skb->ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_NONE.

With the patch ran iperf TCP traffic and observed that TCP checksum
is being offloaded with skb->ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
Also tested with the patch by disabling NETIF_F_HW_CSUM in the driver
to cover the newly introduced if-else code path in skb_segment.
