There's no need to do header check for virito-net since:
s/virito/virtio/
- Host set dodgy for all gso packets from guest and check the header.
s/set/sets/
- Host should prepare for all kinds of evil packets from guest, since
s/prepare/be prepared/
  malicious guest can send any kinds of packet.

So this patch sets NETIF_F_GSO_ROBUST for virtio-net to skip the check.
