mlx5e_psp_handle_tx_skb() assumes skbs are ipv6 when doing a partial
TCP checksum with tso. Make correctly mlx5e_psp_handle_tx_skb()
handle
ipv4 packets.

This is a bug when an ipv4 tx skb passes through
mlx5e_psp_handle_tx_skb() and tso is requested. It was previously
undetected in my testing because my setup involves cx7's on both
ends,
and mlx5e_handle_csum() marks PSP rx skb's with csum_unnecessary.

To reproduce the problem just turn off NETIF_F_RXCSUM and observe:
nstat -a | grep TcpInCsumErrors

Changes in v2:
- move declarations down into branches where they are used.
- Link to v1:
