This was recently reported to me, and reproduced on the latest net kernel, when
attempting to run netperf from a host that had a netem qdisc attached to the
egress interface:

The problem occurs because netem is not prepared to handle GSO packets (as it
uses skb_checksum_help in its enqueue path, which cannot manipulate these
frames).

The solution I think is to simply segment the skb in a simmilar fashion to the
way we do in __dev_queue_xmit (via validate_xmit_skb), with some minor changes.
When we decide to corrupt an skb, if the frame is GSO, we segment it, corrupt
the first segment, and enqueue the remaining ones.

This looks like a good idea.

Please cleanup the formatting issues:
