virtio-net: enable NETIF_F_GRO_HW only if GRO-related offloads are supported

Browse source

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.

Improve the situation by masking off NETIF_F_GRO_HW unless the device
possesses actual GRO-related offload capabilities. Out of an abundance
of caution, this does not change the current behaviour for hardware with
just v6 or just v4 GRO: current interfaces do not allow distinguishing
between v6/v4 GRO, so we can't expose them to userspace precisely.
