Veth's can be used in environments (like Azure) where the underlying
network device is impacted by large GSO packets. This patch allows
gso maximum values to be passed in when creating the device via
netlink.

In theory, other pseudo devices could also use netlink attributes
to set GSO maximums but for now veth is what has been observed
to be an issue.
It looks odd that you only allow setting them but not dumping them.
