From: Lorenzo Bianconi <redacted>

Introduce nf_flow_offload_check_mtu() helper and use the encapsulated
protocol (tun.encap_proto) to compute the tunnel overhead instead of
relying on tun_num, so the correct inner header size (IPv4 vs IPv6) is
accounted for. Use it in both the IPv4 and IPv6 forward paths.
This is a preliminary patch to support IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT flowtable
tunnel offload.
Please note IPv4 over IPv6 and SIT tunnel flowtable offloading is not
enabled yet.
