This adds a new NETIF_F_GRO_LIST feature flag. I will be used
to configure listfyed GRO what will be implemented with some
followup paches.
This should probably simultaneously introduce SKB_GSO_FRAGLIST as well
as a BUILD_BUG_ON in net_gso_ok.

Please also in the commit describe the constraints of skbs that have
this type. If I'm not mistaken, an skb with either gso_size linear
data or one gso_sized frag, followed by a frag_list of the same. With
the exception of the last frag_list member, whose mss may be less than
gso_size. This will help when reasoning about all the types of skbs we
may see at segmentation, as we recently had to do [1]
Would it be preferrable to allow any size skbs for the listification.
Since the original skbs are being restored, single gso_size shoudln't
be a constraint here.
