Xin Long efa1a65c7e ip_gre: add csum offload support for gre header
This patch is to add csum offload support for gre header:

On the TX path in gre_build_header(), when CHECKSUM_PARTIAL's set
for inner proto, it will calculate the csum for outer proto, and
inner csum will be offloaded later. Otherwise, CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
and csum_start/offset will be set for outer proto, and the outer
csum will be offloaded later.

On the GSO path in gre_gso_segment(), when CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is
not set for inner proto and the hardware supports csum offload,
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and csum_start/offset will be set for outer
proto, and outer csum will be offloaded later. Otherwise, it
will do csum for outer proto by calling gso_make_checksum().

Note that SCTP has to do the csum by itself for non GSO path in
sctp_packet_pack(), as gre_build_header() can't handle the csum
with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set for SCTP CRC csum offload.

v1->v2:
  - remove the SCTP part, as GRE dev doesn't support SCTP CRC CSUM
    and it will always do checksum for SCTP in sctp_packet_pack()
    when it's not a GSO packet.

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.
