Negotiating VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS indicates the device
allows control over offload support, but the offloads that can be
controlled may have nothing to do with GRO (e.g., if neither GUEST_TSO4
nor GUEST_TSO6 is supported).

In such a setup, reporting NETIF_F_GRO_HW as available for the device
is too optimistic and misleading to the user.
