Coco Li b6488b161a bnxt: Use generic HBH removal helper in tx path 
Eric Dumazet implemented Big TCP that allowed bigger TSO/GRO packet sizes
for IPv6 traffic. See patch series:
'commit 89527be8d8 ("net: add IFLA_TSO_{MAX_SIZE|SEGS} attributes")'

This reduces the number of packets traversing the networking stack and
should usually improves performance. However, it also inserts a
temporary Hop-by-hop IPv6 extension header.

Using the HBH header removal method in the previous patch, the extra header
be removed in bnxt drivers to allow it to send big TCP packets (bigger
TSO packets) as well.

Tested:
Compiled locally

To further test functional correctness, update the GSO/GRO limit on the
physical NIC:

ip link set eth0 gso_max_size 181000
ip link set eth0 gro_max_size 181000

Note that if there are bonding or ipvan devices on top of the physical
NIC, their GSO sizes need to be updated as well.

Then, IPv6/TCP packets with sizes larger than 64k can be observed.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
