From: Yi Zou <redacted>
This is related to fixing the bug of dropping FCoE frames when disabling tx ip
checksum by 'ethtool -K ethx tx off'. The FCoE protocol stack driver would
use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on tx path instead of CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (as indicated in
the 2/2 of this series). To do so, netif_needs_gso() has to be changed here to
not do gso for both CHECKSUM_PARTIAL and CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.
