[TG3]: Add TSO workaround using GSO
Use GSO to workaround a rare TSO bug on some chips. This hardware bug may be triggered when the TSO header size is greater than 80 bytes. When this condition is detected in a TSO packet, the driver will use GSO to segment the packet to workaround the hardware bug. Thanks to Juergen Kreileder <jk@blackdown.de> for reporting the problem and collecting traces to help debug the problem. And thanks to Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> for providing the GSO mechanism that happens to be the perfect workaround for this problem.
